Deportations Don’t Lower Crime Rates, Study Says
An analysis by two law professors concludes that Secure Communities, a federal program intended to improve public safety, has had “no observable effect” on crime rates.
"They
concluded that there was no “empirical evidence” that Secure
Communities caused “a meaningful reduction” in the rates of serious
crimes.
“This
is important because Secure Communities specifically, and criminal
deportation policies more generally, have long been publicly justified
primarily on grounds that they keep communities safer from violent
crime,” the authors said in the study."
