On the other hand, traumatic effects within the refugees, many problematic areas such
as lack of education, lack of occupation, unemployment and minority psychology have
strengthened their tendency to commit crime. As all over the world, it is known that
the increase in crime rates of refugees and migrants is closely related to time and social
exclusion.

It is also not surprising that if there is an increase in the number of criminal actions, it
will naturally affect the society to strike an attitude against refugees.

Such concerns come to the forefront in the main security concerns that is created by
the Syrians in Türkiye, are such as The uncertainty of the mass transit from the border
between 2012 and 2015 and the fact that the security inquiries of the mass have not
been carried out effectively, the presence of those who are not yet registered, even they
are in small numbers, numerical size exceeding 3.4 million of their population, possible
risk of the Syrian people conflicts within themselves, many terrorist organizations in the
region to head for the refugees, radicalization, autism and rejecting the local community
which is caused by ghettoization, local tensions that may arise from unregistered
work or caused by open a workplace, the “anger accumulation” caused by the possible
externalities that can arise from the breakaway of school life and similar problems.

Existence of the 340,000 Syrian children and teenagers that are yet not going to school
are actually a source of concern for security.
