Illegal Immigration, Immigration Enforcement Policies, and American Citizens' Victimization Risk, [United States], 2005-2015 (ICPSR 39329)

Released/updated on: 2026-01-28
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2005-01-01--2015-01-01

This project was designed to examine two research questions:

  1. Does living in a county with a larger or growing share of undocumented immigrants increase personal non-fatal victimization risk?
  2. Does the presence of selected immigration policies within U.S. communities--the 2008 Secure Communities program, Section 287(g) of the 1996 Immigration and Nationality Act task force agreements and jail enforcement programs, or "sanctuary" anti-detainer policies--and the actual immigration enforcement applied impact personal non-fatal victimization risk?

These questions were addressed with a longitudinal multilevel dataset that integrated publicly accessible county-level data on legal and undocumented immigrant concentration, immigration policies, and immigration law enforcement actions to individual-level panel data on victimization from the restricted-use, area-identified, 2005-2015 National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Contextual data on social, economic, and racial-ethnic indicators at the county- and tract-level were also used.

This collection includes analytic datasets drawn from publicly accessible secondary sources and syntax files containing code for variable construction. The restricted NCVS data will not be archived at ICPSR.

Latino Second Generation Study, 2012-2013 [United States] (ICPSR 36625)

Released/updated on: 2017-05-24
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2012-01-01--2013-01-01
The Latino Second Generation Study is a national survey of the political experiences and attitudes of 1,050 U.S. born second generation Latinos of foreign-born parents. The goal of the project is to advance scholarly understanding of political socialization and of the long-term effects of the U.S. immigration system on citizen, civic and political participation in the U.S. Additional variables include behavior and attitudes, family immigration history, and demographic background. The survey was fielded online in English and Spanish by the research firm GfK in the summer of 2013. Demographic variables include age, income, size of household, education level, marital status, race/ethnicity, gender, and parent's country of birth and citizenship.
