Event details of Asylum seekers and neighbourhood crime: a spatial panel analysis
Date
5 December 2023
Time
12:00 -13:00
Room
D1.00

In this presentation, Wahideh will focus on unique longitudinal and geocoded Dutch crime data from 2010-2015 and the arrival of Asylum Reception Centres in the Netherlands. The results suggest that the presence or arrival of such centers in neighborhoods does not statistically significantly impact neighbourhood crime rates. Instead, Spatial Panel Models are employed to examine whether there is a potential shift in criminal activities to adjacent areas, possibly due to increased police surveillance or changes in informal social control within neighborhoods with asylum centres.
