The Ingrham, writing for The Washington Post, used data to investigate the claim that undocumented  immigrants are a large source of crime.  You may hit a paywall when you try to access this piece, FYI. Ingraham provides two pieces of evidence that suggest that undocumented immigrants are NOT a large source of crime. He draws on a  policy brief from the Cato Institute and a research study by Light and Miller  for his arguments. The Cato Institute policy brief   about illegal immigration and crime is actually part of a much larger study . It provides a nice conceptual example of a 3 (citizenship status: Native born, Undocumented Immigrant, Legal Immigrant) x 3 (Crime Type: All crimes, homicide, larceny) ANOVA. I also like that this data shows criminal conviction rates per 100K people, thus eliminating any base rate issues when comparing groups.
