Xenophobia research results and recommendations in Hungary among those responsible for the management of human migration

Abstract

Hungary is part of international (human) migration, which is also called a cross-border, supranational phenomenon. In this process, people from almost all countries of the world appear with varying intensity and number at the country’s borders. They cross, stay in, or transit through the country in a regular (norm-following) or even irregular (unauthorized) manner. We are researchers who know the work of the police and the asylum authority from within, we work in the police force, with whom the officials were open and discussed their
feelings about the competent control of foreigners. We accept the minimum requirement that, in order to guarantee fundamental human rights, the control of persons crossing foreign borders must be carried out by officials who have received targeted training in dealing with the multicultural characteristics of newcomers. Lawful, professional measures must be carried out by administrators in accordance with their oath of office and international and national laws and professional regulations, in an objective manner and in accordance with the
principles of fairness, so that, as a member of society are affected by influences. The study uses a comparative analysis to examine the xenophobia characteristic of the entire Hungarian society, which also includes officers, and its impact on the competent border police officers in 2010 and 2016. It also makes recommendations for training to increase the humanity of law enforcement measures.
