Standardized Assessment Technique and Immigration
For quite a long time, immigration and crime have been closely linked with some pointing out that immigrants tend to have a particularly high rate of criminality. There are those, however, who feel that an increase in immigration rates has no impact whatsoever on crime. Based on my review of literature on this particular topic, greater immigration rates do not result in more crimes. In an attempt to get tough on immigrants -- in the mistaken belief that doing so could help reduce crime rates - states like Arizona have in the past enacted anti-immigration laws.

The said review did not, however, cover all the jails in the country.
Research findings conducted in the past did not find any clear link between high immigration rates and an increase in the rate of crime. According to Siegel (2011), some of those who have conducted intensive inquiry on this particular topic including but not limited to Robert Sampson, a sociologist, are of the opinion that "immigrants are actually less violent than the general population" (p.51). For instance, as the author further points out, native-born citizens have a higher rate of violence than Mexican immigrants.

Mexico faces an array of drug-related problems ranging from production and transshipment of illicit drugs to corruption, violence, and increased internal drug abuse. Powerful and well-organized Mexican organizations control drug production and trafficking in and through Mexico, as well as the laundering of drug proceeds.
