Actually, traumatic events related to the forced migration have touched the population here during the period between 1992 and 2005. Fieldwork conducted in the suburbs of Mersin (Şevket Sümer, Güneş, Gündoğdu, Siteler, Çay ve Çilek neighborhoods) with 250 children. The children throwing stones at the police are predominantly the children of these migrants. The results show that anger characterizes the children’s reaction to the state. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were adopted in this research. A question form was designed and used during the in-depth interviews with the children. The respondents were tape-recorded while they completed the standardized questionnaires and were encouraged to discuss their definitions of terms and responses to items in-depth. Furthermore analyses of results were derived from statistical chi-square test.},author={Nurdan AKINER},year={2014},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
