Data are also \r\n provided on how many undocumented persons were arrested/convicted for \r\n repeat offense in these counties and which type of policies or \r\n procedures could be implemented in criminal justice agencies to address \r\n the issue of crimes committed by undocumented aliens. Data were \r\n collected in the two cities with focus on serious felony offenses. The \r\n collection includes sociodemographic characteristics, citizenship \r\n status, current arrest, case disposition, and prior criminal history \r\n with additional data from San Diego to compute the costs involving \r\nundocumented aliens.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR09330.v1", "title": "Illegal Immigration and Crime in San Diego and El Paso Counties, 1985-1986"}], "identifier": "3261", "issued": "1990-05-01T00:00:00", "keyword": ["arrests", "crime rates", "criminal justice system", "felony offenses", "illegal immigrants", "immigration"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-01-18T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Illegal Immigration and Crime in San Diego and El Paso Counties, 1985-1986"}
