About the project
The project aims at describing the immigration-crime link in order to establish new hypotheses about the specific way this link materializes. If we observe, for example, substantial differences between countries that are similar in political climate yet different in structural or even physical constraints, such knowledge may produce hypotheses about the nature of the link between immigration and crime that we would be little likely to come up with in the absence of comparative knowledge.
On top of that the project is unique in and of itself by the comparison of these five countries, which all have access to administrative register data on, for example, crime. This is the first time such a comparison is performed.
