Abstract: | This paper reviews research undertaken in the field of tourism and crime which suggests that there is empirical evidence that tourism does contribute to an increase in crime. A postal survey of 514 readers of "Holiday Which" finds that respondents generally experience considerably higher rates of victimisation as tourists than they are likely to experience while at home (when compared to the results of the British Crime Survey). In terms of respondents' fears of crime while on holiday it is found that neither crime nor incivilities are seen as a major issue. |
