“…We utilised an NB2 regression model with a logarithmic link function and a deviation-based scaling parameter method. To estimate the results, we used the robust estimator to obtain the covariance matrix and employed the likelihood ratio method to calculate the chi-square statistic, which are commonly used parameters in such analyses (Aeberhard et al, 2014 ; Maldonado-Guzmán, 2022 ). Following the model run, the Omnibus test indicated that the model with predictor variables significantly outperformed the null model (Chi-square likelihood ratio: 14.84, p < 0.05).…”

Influencers are persistently exposed through social media. Once almost unapproachable, celebrities are now open to daily interaction with the public. From comments, polls, emails, and even private messages, the public can engage with their celebrities with a mere click. While this engagement provides influencers with advantages, it also renders them particularly susceptible to online harassment and toxic critics. This paper investigates the characteristics, impact, and reactions to cyber victimisation among social media influencers. To accomplish this objective, the paper presents the findings of two studies: a self-reported online victimisation survey conducted among Spanish influencers and an online ethnography. The results indicate that over 70% of influencers have encountered some form of online harassment and toxic critics. Cyber victimisation, its effects, and reactions vary across socio-demographic characteristics and the influencers’ profiles. Furthermore, the qualitative analysis of the online ethnography reveals that harassed influencers can be classified as non-ideal victims. The implications of these findings for the literature are discussed.

“…After an initial overview of related work, researchers examine specific prior work on crime, types of crime, tourism, support for tourism, and destination. Several studies proposed the hypothesis of crime and theoretical criminology with tourism attributes, along with other demographic and control variables (Cruz-Milán & Castillo-Ortiz, 2023;Maldonado-Guzmán, 2023;Mehmood et al, 2016). Recently, Vakhitova et al (2023) found that burglary and tourist accommodation crimes had an association, which decreased tourists' interest in a specific region.…”

The focus of the study is on types of crime and their relationship with tourism destinations and tourism support among northern tourist areas. The main objective of the study was to shed light on the types of crime and their association with tourism destinations and tourism support with the framework of the social control theoretical model (inner and outer control). Face-to-face quantitative data was collected from (n=501) respondents. The study analyzed data with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM version 4). The path analysis showed that crimes against persons, property, and victimless crime significantly decreased tourism support. A similar phenomenon, such as crimes against person and property, decreased tourism destinations, and victimless crime was insignificant. Based on the study’s findings, the results concluded that types of crime have made unsuccessful tourism support and tourism destination in the northern region. The study put forward recommendations to policymakers that criminal activities should be controlled through crime control systems among different tourist destinations in northern areas.

“…Most research on crimes against tourists uses standard criminological theories that can generally be applied to different types of crimes; the theoretical determination of the relationship between tourism and crime exclusively is quite rare (Burton & Crotts, 2015), with exceptions such as the tourism crime cycle approach developed by Prideaux (Prideaux, 1996). The criminological theory most commonly applied to the analysis of crime related to tourism and tourist victimisation is the routine activity theory (Burton & Crotts, 2015;Maldonado-Guzmán, 2023), and the papers that used this approach cover different parts of the world, such as the USA (Roncek & Maier, 1991;Schiebler, Crotts, & Hollinger, 1996), Spain (Montolio & Planells-Struse, 2016), Ghana (Boakye, 2009), South Africa (Garidzirai, 2021), and Croatia (Recher & Rubil, 2020).…”

Safety of tourists is highly important in tourism-oriented countries such as Croatia, and the most serious threat to tourists is homicide. This paper examines the factors that have led to the homicides of foreign tourists in Croatia. For this analysis routine activity theory approach and its three key elements are used: a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian. As there is no official data on crimes against foreign tourists in Croatia, the analysis was conducted using data from the media. The data for this analysis was collected using a questionnaire developed specifically for this purpose. The questionnaire included data on 18 variables, which can be divided into three groups: offender characteristics, victim characteristics and the circumstances of the offence. The analysis showed that three factors had the strongest influence on the commission of foreign tourists’ homicides: they entered quarrels with unknown or little-known people; they consumed large amounts of alcohol with people they did not know well; and they were alone in an unfamiliar environment, far from the police or other people who could help them.
