In 2006, while on sabbatical from Florida International University, he became a visiting scholar at the University of Houston's Center for Mexican American Studies.[3] His research focuses on variations in crime across ecological areas, and across racial and immigrant groups.[1] This research includes multiple studies showing that immigration from Mexico to the United States is associated with lower crime rates.[4][5]
