Summary/Abstract: Syria is the most affected country by the Arab spring that rapidly spread in the Middle East by the butterfly effect. Forced mass migrations to the size of the migration period continue to Turkey. The Syrians, who initially considered “guests”, considered as “neighbors” after a long stay. Social, political and economic problems that encountered from time to time in Turkey, misperceptions created through digital press and social media and terror attacks cause some kind of prejudices against migrants. These prejudices which turn into anti-migration lead to othering and trigger populism. Some opinions are emerging such as mostly uneducated and economically problematic migrants tend to commit a crime and they have significant contributions to incidents occur in Turkey. Crime data in Turkey confirm that these opinions are the results of othering. In this study, the above-mentioned situations will be included and the crime data of 2018 and 2019 will be examined within the scope of Batman City and important inferences will be made regarding the cases of Syrian Migrants involvement in crime.
