摘要

与经验证据相反，移民被视为公众犯罪率上升的原因。然而，大多数人都是从二手信息来源——包括当地新闻媒体——来形成这样的观点。我们考察了影响当地媒体是否以及如何描述移民-犯罪关系的背景因素。通过对3800多篇新闻文章的内容分析，我们发现当地媒体报道移民和犯罪的可能性随着暴力犯罪率、少数民族人口规模和增长以及宗教和政治保守主义的变化而变化。此外，新闻“框架”也取决于背景因素:少数民族人口不断增长的富裕社区的文章将移民与更高的犯罪率联系起来，但不太可能讨论移民或移民难民的保护作用。

Immigration and Crime in the Local News: Exploring the Macrolevel Covariates of Coverage and Framing

ABSTRACT Contrary to empirical evidence, immigration is seen as increasing rates of crime among the public. However, most people draw from secondary sources—including local news media—to form such opinions. We examine the contextual factors impacting whether and how local media describe the immigration–crime nexus. Using data constructed from content analysis of over 3,800 news articles, we find that the likelihood of local media providing coverage of immigration and crime varies as a function of the violent crime rate, minority population size and growth, and religious and political conservatism. Additionally, news “frames” depend on contextual factors too: Articles in more affluent communities with growing minority populations link immigration to higher rates of crime but are less likely to discuss the protective effects of immigration or immigrant refugees.
