Abstract
The relative contribution of tourism to nine various types of crimes throughout the 50 states of the U.S. is examined for the year of 1975. Nine regression models, each one involving a different type of crime, analyzed the relative contribution of tourism alongside nine other sociodemographic predictors. The results indicate that for five out of nine crimes tourism was not found to be a determinant at all. For the remaining four the magnitude of contribution was so low that it could be considered insubstantial.Keywords
