I recognize this is only tangentially progress-related, but: I am writing a living literature review on migration (funded by Open Philanthropy).
Many people believe that increasing immigration will increase crime, and therefore oppose increasing immigration. Does it?
This post summarizes the available evidence on how immigration affects crime rates in the US.
tldr: increased immigration has a zero-to-negative effect on crime rates.
I would say both immigration and crime are relevant to progress!
