Ferraro's doctoral dissertation analyzes changes in violent and property crime rates in areas home to immigrants, crime against immigrants in those same areas, and whether the effect of immigration on crime varies by a place's history of immigrant reception. Fixed effect regression analysis of data from the 2000 U.S. census, American community survey, and FBI found the strongest predictors of crime were change in overall population size, change in disadvantage, and the ratio of adults to children, not the presence of foreign-born residents. The fresh approach compares the large urban centers traditionally studied with less-populated areas where smaller groups of immigrants have settled recently, controlling for the effect of a city's immigration history in the occurrence of crime.
