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.”

So she is saying stop blaming the Irish?
Well yeah… she just focused her research on immigrants from western nations…
I think with enough manpower those could be parallel tracks.
and UC Irvine used to be a good University but the professors they have on staff are mostly now comprised of pro hamas scum, my brother used to work there but he left when they had the pro hamas protests last year
Define “crime”....
During most of the 80's experienced -0- issues with criminal activity, good times, great folks/environment.
...then came Clinton and the opening the floodgates at the border
...mid-90's come and multiple vehicle break-in's, car totaled by an illegal, school buses shot at, graffiti everywhere...then came the aerospace dive, housing crash, environmental regulations... and the great exodus of mfg. jobs and with it "Americans" from Cali., (including myself). BTW, the factory I worked at for 9 years got razed, and in it's place became what was known as the epicenter of sub-prime loans.
I'll hate that traitorous bent pr*ck forever.
And Obama was nominated for the Peace Prize after 11 days in office...
It appears to me he used the new scientific method. Start with the conclusion and work backward to develop the algorithms and select the facts that support your conclusion. Climate “science” pioneered this modern approach.
“I think with enough manpower those could be parallel tracks.”
🤣🤣🤣
Really? Does any sentient being believe something written by a California “professor”?
Give me a break.
STEM profs excepted - if they are writing about real STEM subjects. Maybe.
>Probably because the reality of the situation doesn’t correlate to her “award-winning research”.
I have read countless posts and other items over the last 5 years or so in which public searches of crime have ‘creative’ interpretations of origin and race, ‘amending’ hardened-looking foreigners and others to ‘white.’
Bad data, bad research. All you have to do to win an award is not actually look at the data.
same people who said, officially:
- Six feet distance, closing schools, masks, dozens of safe and effective jabs, would save grandma (and us all) from certain death.
- all gas powered devices must be replaced by electric vehicles funded by taxpayers.
- biology, genetics, and a thousands of yrs of human understanding of male/female anatomy and purposes were wrong.
-
Coming into our country illegally IS A CRIME... a criminal breaking into your home doesn’t have to rape your daughter to be removed - breaking in is enough. Same here.
Where do they get these liberals from? Under rocks?
Conflating legal immigrants with illegal aliens once again, I see.
That’s not research. That’s “spin”.
Hmmm...wonder if she ever checked out this website: https://illegalaliencrime.com
“pesky data sets”
.
Like “Honor killings”?
** Obama won the peace prize. **
He didn’t earn a win.
It was given. Like money for nothing.
The free chicks he didn’t want, anyway.
