The aim of the research is to determine the presence of violent behavior among immigrants from the Middle East and Northeast Africa upon entering the new country. The research was based on the assumption that immigrants are exposed to violence and are more victims than the local population, and that immigrants who come in search of better socio-economic opportunities are more violent than those fleeing the war. The sample of the study includes 100 respondents, immigrants and locals, of different sexes, ages, countries of origin and other demographic factors. The survey was conducted at the St Andrew Church Refugee Service and online for anonymity in Egypt, Cairo. Data were collected by the ASEBA Youth Self-Report - YSR questionnaire. The results of the research show that the immigrant population has a more pronounced feeling that other people in society have a desire to harm them compared to the domicile population. The results of the research also present the differences between North African and Middle Eastern immigrants in terms of malicious behavior towards other people from the environment (since Middle Eastern immigrants come from regions with current and major war destruction). It can be concluded that immigrants from the Middle East show a higher degree of ill-treatment of other people, compared to North African immigrants.
