Title: Crime, Corrections, and California: What Does Immigration Have to Do With It
Summary: This report examines the effects of immigration on public safety in California. The assessment uses measures of incarceration and institutionalization as proxies for criminal involvement. Findings show that the foreign-born, who make up about 35 percent of the adult population in California, constitute only 17 percent of the adult prison population. Thus, immigrants are underrepresented in California prisons compared to their representation in the overall population.
