'Empirical academic research shows that the European far-right claim that Syrian refugees increased crime has no empirical basis.' Opinion | nirjhor_bd
) our findings disprove the quintessential orientalist claim that black and brown people are raping the White Women and stealing the jobs of the White Men. To test whether there is any scientific basis of the far-right rhetoric that refugees increase crime, statistical models show that there was no significant increase in crime rates, neither among the major refugee countries nor the small refugee hosting countries.
The research findings, growth rates, and crime statistics are all good and optimistic. However, the tragedy of the populist politics is the fact that it only takes a couple of incendiary performances by a demagogue to set the fire of xenophobia into the herd of frustrated voters who need a scapegoat on the election eve to get rid of all of their insecurities. This paradox can only explain why the refugee hating far-right in Europe may continue to grow.
