Abstract
In this research, a new model has been developed by integrating different crime theories to explain the increase in crime and delinquency rates. Subsequently, the effects of activities prepared within the framework of the new model on changing the thoughts and behaviors of offenders and citizens, compared to traditional law enforcement activities, have been examined. An experimental method including experimental and control groups was used to evaluate this effect. The sample of the study consists of a total of 5500 citizens residing in Hatay Büyükdalyan Temporary Accommodation Center and Qatar-2 Temporary Accommodation Center. A quasi-experimental design with control groups, utilizing semi-structured interviews conducted before and after the study, was implemented. In the area where the experimental group resided, activities prepared within the framework of the new model were actively applied, whereas in the control group area, activities were carried out using traditional law enforcement methods. As a result of the research, it was determined that the behavioral and cognitive changes in the experimental group, where activities were actively used within the framewo rk of the new model, were higher than those in the control group where traditional law enforcement activities were conducted. In the conclusion section of the study, based on the new integrated model, a crime prevention methodology applicable in urban areas experiencing crime and delinquency problems has been developed.

Abstract
Bu araştırmada; öncelikle suç ve suçluluk oranlarının artışını izah etmek için farklı suç teorilerinin entegrasyonu ile yeni bir model oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra yeni model bağlamında hazırlanan etkinliklerin, geleneksel kolluk faaliyetlerine kıyasla, fail ve vatandaşların düşünce ve davranışlarını değiştirmeleri üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Bu etkinin değerlendirilmesi için deney ve kontrol gruplarını içeren deneysel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Hatay Büyükdalyan Geçici Konaklama Merkezi ve Katar 2 Geçici Konaklama Merkezi’nde ikamet eden toplam 5500 vatandaş oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada önce ve sonra yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerin kullanıldığı kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen uygulanmıştır. Deney grubunun ikamet ettiği yerde yeni model bağlamında hazırlanan faaliyetlerin etkin olarak kullanıldığı bir anlayışla, kontrol grubunun ikamet ettiği yerde ise geleneksel kolluk yöntemleriyle etkinlikler uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, yeni model bağlamında hazırlanan faaliyetlerin etkin olarak kullanıldığı yerde yaşayan deney grubundaki davranış ve düşünce değişiklerinin, geleneksel kolluk faaliyetlerinin yürütüldüğü yerdeki kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuç bölümünde yeni entegre modelden hareket ederek kentlerin suç ve suçluluk problemi yaşanan bölgelerinde kullanılabilecek bir suç önleme metodolojisi hazırlanmıştır.
