University of California, Irvine professor Charis E. Kubrin has been awarded the Stockholm Prize in Criminology -often considered the field’s Nobel Prize equivalent- for decades of research challenging the notion that immigrants bring crime to their new communities, officials announced Thursday.
A jury comprised of field experts and fellow professors selected Kubrin and her co-winner, Mark Lipsey of the Peabody Research Institute at Vanderbilt University, for their work. Lipsey was also recognized for his research demonstrating that rehabilitation programs can be effective for convicted offenders and reduce their crime rates.
Kubrin, a professor of criminology, law and society at U.C. Irvine, has built her career examining how immigrants impact public safety.
Her award-winning research found that immigrants actually have lower crime rates than native-born populations and may help reduce crime in their communities. So why do so many people believe the opposite?
Kubrin tells her students that this inaccurate perception “is nothing new. It feels new. It feels particularly strong and salient in today’s context, but this is a historical reality. Immigrants are often blamed for societal problems, including crime.”
The challenge now, Kubrin told school officials, lies in bridging the gap between research and public understanding.
“The research needs to have a bigger impact on public perception,” Kubrin said. “The question is how; that’s the million-dollar question. I’m still working that out, but at a minimum, we need to make sure that the studies and the findings reach the policymakers directly so that at the local, state, national and international levels, they are using evidence to design policy.”

All mis/disinformation.
Probably because the reality of the situation doesn't correlate to her "award-winning research".
Another award given to politically chic research?
Tell that to the families of those killed in Los Angeles and Orange County from illegals but considering this is Ktla the lil commie network who goes all in protecting their precious illegals they could care less about the victims
And then you read a couple of more posts and you see where they arrest 200 sex offenders in an immigration raid. And never mind that sanctuary cities don’t report the immigration status of offenders making it appear that fewer offenders are immigrants. Studies can show pretty much anything depending upon what variables you are willing to omit.
Because she researched legal immigrants in a restricted setting.
You can make data say anything if you just remove those pesky data sets that contradict your narrative.
Barf alert?
For progressives victims are the eggs that get broken and in the making of the omelette.
Shakespeare was wrong. First we kill all the leftist professors before we kill all the lawyers.
Now do illegal immigrants....
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell
That is not the data I have been looking at for the past 20 years.
“ award-winning research found that immigrants actually have lower crime rates than native-born populations and may help reduce crime in their communities”
This kind of crap is how I know Trump doesn’t give a rats a about the Nobel
100% of illegal immigrants are criminals.
Notice the very big changeup at the beinging, in the definiton.
They look a *migrant* crime, not illegal immigrant crime.
John Lott says this is how they create their narrative and cook the books.
Next you’ll be telling me Barack Hussein Obama won the peace prize.
A little stealth indirection there.
"Immigrant crime" is not the same thing as "Illegal Immigrant Crime."
