| Abstract |
Although recent research on crime and violence among immigrants suggests a paradox-where immigrants are more socially disadvantaged yet less likely to commit crime-previous research is limited by issues of generalizability and assessment of the full depth of antisocial behavior. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 787. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 March 2024.
All research outputs
#24,719
of 25,750,437 outputs
Outputs from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#5
of 2,733 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#149
of 322,909 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#2
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,750,437 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,733 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 322,909 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
