Opis

Opportunities for leisure and tourism have escalated as disposable income, technology, travel and education have become increasingly available in recent times. However, this trend is juxtaposed with an increase in crime, particularly since the early the 1950s. This book examines several aspects of leisure that are vulnerable to crime.
