Introduction

Growth in tourism has led to increase opportunities and incidences of crimes. These crimes happened for several reasons. First, tourists are lucrative targets since they typically carry large sums of money and other valuables. Second, tourists are vulnerable because they are more likely to be relaxed and sometimes careless while on vacation. Finally, tourists are often less likely to report crimes to testify against suspects, wishing to avoid problems or a return trip.
