Document Summary

Connection between immigration and crime= by having lot of immigrants in the classroom does that mean it influence the crime rate. Policy makers have often seen immigration and crime are closely connected. But no clear answer about the connection and the existence of a connection of immigration and crime. Immigration as a process makes ppl more criminal or elevate crime rate in the country/ do ppl come as criminals/ or do ppl become criminal when they come. Violent property and drug crime: minority groups (not specifically immigrants), we see higher incarceration or crime rate and often experience a social political or economic disadvantage. However no all disadvantage immigrant groups have higher crime rate then the native born population. In the netherlands, turks and moroccans are similarly large and had similar migration history, face similar challenges in the society but moroccans are more likely to be incarcerated. In germany same situation again but the turkish immigrants have disproportionately higher incarceration rates.
