Summary: We present an empirical analysis of the consequences of the recent immigration waves in Western European regions in terms of crime victimization and perception. Our research strategy is twofold. We first estimate a linear probability model of the likelihood of being a crime victim (and of feeling unsafe) on immigration by region using individual data and a set of regional fixed effects and country specific time effects plus controls. In addition, in order to account for possible measurement errors of regional immigration and possible regional specific time varying unobservable factors, we instrument regional immigration in a model in differences using an exogenous measure of immigration flows induced by push factors in world areas of origin. Our empirical results suggest that immigration does not have any significant impact on criminality in destination regions. We find some effects on crime perception that disappear when immigration is instrumented. This result is at odd with our finding that crime perception is an important driver of the attitude of European citizens towards immigration.
