Please join the Crime & Justice Research Alliance (CJRA) and the Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA) for our fourth annual “Ask a Criminologist” Congressional briefing at which leading criminology experts and practitioners from around the country explore the most important topics in crime, justice, policing and national security. These briefings provide an opportunity for Congressional staff and key stakeholders to engage directly with the experts conducting research on a range of public safety and justice system topics.
This interactive Congressional briefing will explore the relationships between immigration trends and policies and public safety. Immigration has long been at the center of many policy debates in Washington and beyond and has recently been propelled to the forefront of headlines once again. Missing from much of the discussion is what researchers have learned about immigration and crime. This briefing will inform policymakers deliberating immigration policies with rigorous research and hard data on the topic.
