Despite paying lip-service to the local dimension to crime and disorder auditing, government policies in Britain have tended to prioritise national goals and standards. This is regrettable. The early acknowledgement that CDRPs could be grouped into families with distinct social, economic and criminogenic profiles underlined the importance of assessing crime and disorder issues in context. One example is the impact that tourism has upon crime and antisocial behaviour in areas catering for mass tourism and especially youth tourism. Using data from the 2001 and 2004 Crime and Disorder audits in Cornwall, England, and a separate evaluation of hotel crime in tourist centres in Cornwall and neighbouring Devon, this paper illustrates both how tourism impacts upon local crime patterns and how its impact has failed to be incorporated into local crime reduction planning.

Abstract
Despite paying lip-service to the local dimension to crime and disorder auditing, government policies in Britain have tended to prioritise national goals and standards. This is regrettable. The early acknowledgement that CDRPs could be grouped into families with distinct social, economic and criminogenic profiles underlined the importance of assessing crime and disorder issues in context. One example is the impact that tourism has upon crime and antisocial behaviour in areas catering for mass tourism and especially youth tourism. Using data from the 2001 and 2004 Crime and Disorder audits in Cornwall, England, and a separate evaluation of hotel crime in tourist centres in Cornwall and neighbouring Devon, this paper illustrates both how tourism impacts upon local crime patterns and how its impact has failed to be incorporated into local crime reduction planning.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
