Abstract

This paper studies how immigration status affects crime reporting. I focus on Deferred Action for Early Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a policy that temporarily protects youth from deportation and provides work authorization. For identification, I compare the reporting behavior of victims who are more likely to be undocumented around the policy’s age-eligibility cut-off over time. I find that DACA eligibility increased victims’ likelihood of reporting crimes to the police and provide evidence consistent with DACA reducing victims’ fear of deportation. Overall, the results suggest that immigrant legalization increases engagement with police.

移民身份对犯罪报告的影响:来自 DACA 的证据
本文研究移民身份如何影响犯罪报告。我将重点放在 "儿童早期抵达暂缓遣返行动"(DACA)上,这是一项暂时保护青少年免于被驱逐出境并提供工作授权的政策。为了进行识别,我比较了在该政策的年龄资格分界线附近更有可能是无证受害者的报案行为。我发现,DACA 资格增加了受害者向警方报案的可能性,并提供了与 DACA 减少受害者对被驱逐出境的恐惧相一致的证据。总体而言,研究结果表明移民合法化增加了与警方的接触。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Urban Economics provides a focal point for the publication of research papers in the rapidly expanding field of urban economics. It publishes papers of great scholarly merit on a wide range of topics and employing a wide range of approaches to urban economics. The Journal welcomes papers that are theoretical or empirical, positive or normative. Although the Journal is not intended to be multidisciplinary, papers by noneconomists are welcome if they are of interest to economists. Brief Notes are also published if they lie within the purview of the Journal and if they contain new information, comment on published work, or new theoretical suggestions.
