Migration, both individual and massive, has always been present in human life as a phenomenon. On the other hand, the phenomenon of illegal migration has not been present for so many centuries due to the relatively late development of restrictions for crossing the state border. The contemporary migration crisis affecting the European Union is characterized by a large number of illegal border crossings, a large number of undeclared migrants in relation to their country of origin and a large dark figure whose scale can only be speculated. An increase in the number of illegal crossings of the state border and the number of forced displacement of foreigners in that period was not unexpected in the Republic of Croatia. In the same period, only 6.8% of the total number of applications for international protection was granted, which raises the question on possible abuse of this international protection right in order to avoid the application of appropriate measures in the case of unlawful crossings of the state border and illegal residence. In the same period, the number of total reported crime in the Republic of Croatia was declining, but criminal offenses whose perpetrators are foreigners are constantly increasing. Although the status of the alleged perpetrators and their country of origin is by the available data unknown, there is a clear need to take certain measures in the aspect of integration of foreigners into our society in order to prevent further increase in the share of foreigners among perpetrators of criminal offenses in our area. The aim of this paper is to turn the reader's focus on the migration crisis in our country, to give a historical overview of some of the migrations, their general causes and divisions, the presentation of the key legal provisions of the Republic of Croatia related to the issue of migration, the presentation of some general information from worldwide and domestic literature on the crime committed by foreigners, giving an overview of the situation and trends of the total reported crime in the country during and immediately after the migration crisis, among other things, on the proportion of alien perpetrators in certain criminal offenses, and a review of the role of social pedagogues in the process of integrating foreigners into our society and sensitizing it.
