Abstract

Using US county homicide mortality data and a spatial Durbin panel regression model which accounts for the spatial clustering of homicide deaths and unobserved heterogeneity between counties, this study examines the impact of changes in foreign born population share on changes in county homicide rates. Increases in the foreign born population share are associated with reductions in the homicide rate, a process observed most clearly in the South region of the US. This reduction is largely the result of spillover, the indirect effect of growth in the immigrant population in one county on homicide rates in other counties.
