The relations between migration and crime have long been discussed, and they are complex. The issue, which is usually put as ? does migration increase the rate of crime?? and which has the risk of being one-sided and biased, has been analysed in recent years in Turkey also. The concepts of immigrant and crime rate are considered to be directly connected with the way that people perceive immigrants and mostly with the way that they label immigrants. Such labelling or rather stigmatizing, was triggered by the case of ?fear of Crime? as stated in the Western countries. The fear of crime is triggered, and the stereotype that immigrants are potential criminals is produced. Mass media also shapes the migration-criminal association. This study discusses that the migration-crime association is a set of learnt concepts rather than objective reality, and how the Syrian immigrants are considered in mass media. In this study, a media and comment scanning process has been conducted in terms of news and comments on the issues of Syrian asylum seekers and crime on the web sites of the general (national) newspapers.
