Research into immigrant behaviors continues to expand as scholarship explores mechanisms surrounding the immigrant-crime paradox. An important and underexplored area in quantitative research surrounds low profile behaviors. The term "low profile" refers to a set of behaviors that immigrants and immigrant groups adopt to reduce or mitigate exposure to a variety of risky environments and institutional threats, particularly the police. This study explores the relationship between immigrant statuses and low profile behaviors in communities using data from El Paso County, Texas neighborhoods. El Paso offers unique insight into a binational border context that has historically welcomed immigrants and immigrant groups. The results suggest that being a first-generation immigrant predicts the belief that neighbors are likely to keep a low profile from the police; however, once culture and neighborhood-level factors are taken into consideration, this effect wanes. These findings emphasize the importance of low profile behaviors for future study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
