Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the perception of the effect of Syrian citizens, who are under temporary protection in our country and who have had to migrate to Turkey in groups since 2011, on crime rates in Turkey. For this purpose, the province of Çankırı was chosen as an example province, and first of all, the perception of the citizens about those under temporary protection was investigated in terms of its impact on crime rates. In the study, data were collected by applying a random survey method, and social perception was tried to be understood by evaluating these data, so that the perception of those who migrated (those under temporary protection) was tried to be interpreted from the perspective of the concepts of prejudice, conscious prejudice and discrimination. This study also tried to examine the concept of crime and to draw attention to the relationship between delinquency and immigration. By emphasizing the general logic of the concept of crime, it has been tried to emphasize that the science of criminology is also an effective factor in the formation of judgment. As the Syrian citizens, who were accepted with a certain status in Turkey as a result of the Syrian war, had to migrate due to the forced situation caused by the war, it was inevitable that some negative judgments would emerge in the social perception. In the voluntary-forced migration distinction, it is an acceptable assessment that those who voluntarily migrate to other communities are welcomed with a relatively more positive perspective and add added value to the communities they go to. This study is to investigate what kind of judgment there is about those who have to immigrate.
