Percepción de amenaza a la seguridad ciudadana asociada a la etnicidad de migrantes

Abstract

This article evaluates the perception of security threats associated with the ethnic origin of immigration in Spain, mainly based on the European Social Survey. The objective was to identify which contact- related risk factors influence the perception of security threats related to immigration. Associated with this, we distinguished the degree to which Spaniards link immigration to increased crime. Results show that contact with migrants of Muslim origin can be a determining factor in the negative perception of security.
