Summary:This chapter reviews the ever-growing body of empirical research on the immigration-crime link around the globe, focusing on studies across a diverse range of contexts: the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. For each context, using a narrative review approach, we identify and describe findings from empirical studies on immigration and crime, as well as compare and contrast the findings across contexts. We conclude the chapter by extracting key lessons and takeaways that, we hope, will help generate a fruitful research agenda moving forward.
