New article alert! Our latest article examines criminogenic risk among justice involved immigrants and finds that they have lower levels of most criminogenic risk factors compared to US citizens. This aligns with many other studies suggesting that immigrants are at low risk of crime.

Policies limiting immigration are often justified based on the idea that immigrants are more prone to violence. The evidence says otherwise. New research finds that immigrants in custody show lower criminogenic risk than U.S.-born citizens. Read here: doi.org/10.1037/law0... #psychlaw #lawpsych
