Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this research is to map the effect of migration flows and crime on the monitoring of crime in Greece and, in general, its capital, Athens. From a political economy perspective, one version of the study of the phenomenon of the settlement of migration flows and the theoretical understanding of its causes and significance in the modern age can also be considered. Specifically, there is a growing demand for specific types of employment and a flexible, unprotected, and low-cost workforce. Undocumented immigrants are typically clustered in regions, sectors, and markets where the availability of cheap and versatile labor is growing and which tend to avoid regulation and oversight: in global major cities and rural areas, in areas such as manufacturing, tourism, small businesses, and households. Large urban centers, for instance, not only provide anonymity but provide a variety of opportunities for employment in emerging unofficial sectors. Moreover, in times of economic crisis and galloping unemployment, irregular migration is associated with real or alleged criminality.
