Summary: The study of criminological sub-jects requires the deep consideration of methodological aspects. There are rigor-ous methods that allow reducing the biases and subjectivities of the social research, al-though there are still methodological chal-lenges that need to be discussed. These acquire special relevance in criminology, specifically when studies address sensitive issues or when the target population is not easily located, as is the case of the research on immigration and crime. The aim of this article is to discuss the methodological challenges related to the delinquency of immigrants, based on DIA Project - Crime of settled immigrants in Malaga. The results show limitations of the social research. From our empirical experience, we highlight those methodological challenges and biases, par-ticularly related to criminological research on immigrant population. Our purpose is to contribute to the discussion of the research process, essential for improving the meth-odological strategies in criminology.
