“Important conversations about education, employment, and immigration policies are being trivialized by the myth of a ‘crime wave,’ and that’s manifestly wrong,” said Krisberg. “We have to ask, how much of our policymaking is still based on myths?”

Violent crime in California dropped dramatically during the same period of intense immigration to the state, found a new study by Barry Krisberg of the Berkeley Center for Criminal Justice, which is based at the School of Law.

During precisely the period that California experienced the biggest immigrant population increase in its history, the state also experienced a precipitous drop in crime rates, according to a report by Barry Krisberg…. “There is no evidence that California is in the midst of a crime emergency as a result of substantial migration of persons born in other nations. To allow this myth to guide public policy discussions about newly arrived noncitizens and future American citizens is harmful.”

Researcher Barry Krisberg combined immigration numbers with data from the Department of Justice. He found that over the last 18 years, over three million foreign born immigrants moved into the state of California. Meanwhile, Krisberg said, “violent crimes rates were down dramatically, serious property crime was down dramatically, and those were the statewide figures.”
