Abstract
The aftermath of the recent refugee crisis in Europe has been debated to a great extent across the globe. Yet, little statistical analysis has been done to uncover the impacts of refugee inflows on crime and voting behavior. In this paper, two topics on the effects of the refugee crisis are investigated. We ask: How did the recent increase of refugee inflows affect crime rates and voting behavior in Sweden? The results suggest that the sudden surge of refugees in Sweden caused an increase in crime rates and swayed the voting behavior in favor of Sweden Democrats.
