This article presents the first research to address the impact of crime on citizens who suffer crime during a vacation. Based on a small sample of US residents victimised while visiting five different countries, and drawn from a crowdsourcing platform, it is, essentially exploratory. However, the findings suggest that tourist victims are severely affected by their experiences and that this impacts their feelings about revisiting the country where the offence occurred. Most victims reported receiving support from both formal and informal sources, but at the same time most said they would have appreciated more support. While more research is needed to build on this study, the findings do underline the need for a greater focus on both crime reduction and harm minimisation.

犯罪对游客的影响以及为游客受害者提供更多支持的必要性

本文介绍了第一项研究，以解决犯罪对在假期期间遭受犯罪的公民的影响。基于在访问五个不同国家时受害的一小部分美国居民样本，并来自众包平台，它本质上是探索性的。然而，调查结果表明，旅游受害者受到他们的经历的严重影响，这会影响他们重新访问发生犯罪的国家的感受。大多数受害者报告说从正式和非正式来源获得了支持，但同时大多数人表示他们会感谢更多的支持。虽然需要在这项研究的基础上进行更多研究，但研究结果确实强调了需要更加关注减少犯罪和减少伤害。
