Police Professional 1/3/2019 News Neighborhood Immigrant Concentration and Violent Crime Reporting to the Police: A Multilevel Analysis of Data From the National Crime Victimization Survey Using data from the Area‐Identified National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), we provide a national assessment of the impact of neighbourhood immigrant concentration on whether violence is reported to the police. By drawing on multiple theoretical perspectives, we outline how the level of violence reporting could be higher or lower in immigrant neighbourhoods, as well as how this may depend on individual race/ethnicity and the history of immigration in the county in which immigrant neighbourhoods are located. Controlling for both individual‐ and neighbourhood‐level conditions, our findings indicate that within traditional immigrant counties, rates of violence reporting in immigrant neighbourhoods are similar to those observed elsewhere. In contrast, within newer immigrant destinations, we observe much lower rates of violence reporting in neighbourhoods with a large concentration of immigrants. Our study findings reveal comparable patterns for Whites, Blacks, and Latinos. The results have important implications for theory, policy, and future research.
