Does immigration cause crime?

DOES IMMIGRATION CAUSE CRIME?
A chief constable here in Britain says increased immigration has led to an increase in knife crime and drink-driving offences. Julie Spence, of Cambridgeshire police, says police are struggling to cope. I've just been looking at some research in the US which says immigrants don't cause more crime, they just get imprisoned more often. So, do you think immigration causes more crime, or are we just more likely to blame immigrants for problems that already exist?

IS REVOLUTION BREWING IN BURMA?
Now that Burma's monks are marching in the streets, is it time for the world to support them? India, China and other southeast Asian countries already do business with Burma's military government. So will these protests change Burma from the inside? And will they change how the rest of world engages with Burma?
