Abstract
Many states have witnessed growing xenophobia and hostility towards refugees alongside the framing of refugees as a serious security or criminal threat in public discourse. Making use of an original cross-national survey of adults in Canada, this article explores the link between fear of crime and negative views of refugees. Its results reveal that even after controlling for alternative explanations, people with more fear of crime are significantly more likely to express anti-refugee sentiments. These results have implications for understanding ongoing challenges in maintaining domestic support for refugee protection and the importance of dispelling myths that refugees are sources of criminality.
Keywords:
- fear of crime,

Résumé
De nombreux États ont connu une montée de la xénophobie et de l’hostilité à l’égard des réfugiés, ainsi qu’un cadrage de ces derniers comme une grave menace sécuritaire ou criminelle dans le discours public. S’appuyant sur une enquête transnationale originale menée auprès d’adultes au Canada, cet article explore le lien entre la peur de la criminalité et les perceptions négatives à l’égard des réfugiés. Ses résultats démontrent que même en tenant compte d’autres explications, les personnes qui ont une plus grande peur de la criminalité sont significativement plus susceptibles d’exprimer des sentiments anti-réfugiés. Ces résultats ont des implications pour la compréhension des défis actuels dans le maintien du soutien domestique à la protection des réfugiés et soulignent l’importance de dissiper les mythes selon lesquels les réfugiés sont une source de criminalité.
