I haven't researched stats related to sanctuary cities, Tiki.
So, I don't have evidence at my fingertips to support the rationale.
To me, it's common sense. If someone is undocumented and they're a victim or witness to a crime, they're gonna be less likely to report it if they know they will be viewed as a criminal and face possible deportation by interfacing with law enforcement.
I'll see if I can find some evidence one way or the other when I get a chance, but I doubt that it can be quantified.
