Crime, Migration, and Community Change
Posted: 4/22/2019 (CSDE Seminar Series)
Jenna Nobles, Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present the effects on domestic and international migration at both the micro and macro levels. In Mexico, exposure to violent crime increased sharply between 2007-2010 and has remained elevated in the subsequent years. She will describe where, and how, violence-related migration has shaped population characteristics and aspects of community functioning. She also considers evidence for remarkable population stability in some regions of Mexico and discuss potential explanations—that is, why people stay in place when community conditions worsen.
