Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Despite longstanding theory linking immigration to crime, recent research indicates that immigrant status has protective effects, at both the individual and contextual levels. In particular, at the individual level, first and second generation immigrants are less likely to engage in violent crime than nonimmigrants, and Latino Americans fare better on a variety of measures of well-being than Black or White Americans, a phenomenon that is known as the “Latino Paradox.” Residence in a neighborhood with a high concentration of immigrants has also been shown to have protective effects. However, immigrant status or Latino ethnicity may also subject individuals to greater scrutiny from the police, particularly among the disadvantaged, leading to artificially higher levels of arrest. Moreover, disadvantaged neighborhoods with high concentrations of immigrants or minorities may receive greater police attention. Using data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, I examine the extent to which ethnicity, immigrant status, and socioeconomic status predict the likelihood of arrest for adolescents in Los Angeles County, taking into account neighborhood sociodemographic characteristics, including racial/ethnic composition, relative (dis)advantage, and collective efficacy. Preliminary results indicate that immigrant status is associated with a lower likelihood of arrest, and that this effect is robust to controls for neighborhood disadvantage and percent foreign born.
