“…However, the extradition bill received much criticism and a number of social protests took place, led primarily by young people, with the aim to retract the extradition bill. After several intensive protests, the extradition bill was suspended in June 2019 and officially withdrawn in October 2019 (Lo et al, 2021). Nevertheless, protests continued with the aim to strike for the five demands (i.e., full withdrawal of the extradition bill, a commission of inquiry into alleged police brutality, retracting the classification of protesters as “rioters,” amnesty for arrested protesters, and dual universal suffrage, meaning for both the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive).…”

We examined the association between normative beliefs about aggression toward police (NBAGG→P) and participation in social protests during 2019–2020 and use of aggression among 1,025 Hong Kong university students. We also investigated the role of ecological risks (i.e., distrust in institutions, exposure to community violence, poor family monitoring, poor university discipline and affiliation with delinquent peers) and future orientation in NBAGG→P. The results showed that NBAGG→P was related to more participation in social protests and use of aggression. Ecological risks (except for poor family monitoring) and a positive future orientation were related to more and less NBAGG→P, respectively. Moreover, the “distrust in institutions and NBAGG→P” link was stronger for students with more, rather than less, positive future orientation.

“…Here, protesters demanded the withdrawal of the Fugitive Offenders Bill from the legislative process (Stott et al , 2020), which intended to establish a mechanism for the transfer of fugitives – not only for Taiwan, but also for countries or cities with which it does not have an extradition treaty, including Mainland China and Macau. The introduction of the bill caused widespread criticism from the local citizens and foreign governments, who feared it would cause the erosion of Hong Kong's judicial system and its business climate; whilst also damaging to the “one country, two systems” policy (Lo et al , 2020). Hong Kong was the world's most visited city by travellers in 2018 (Euromonitor International, 2019).…”

“…Different degrees of protests have been on headline news broadcasts from different major international media such as CNN, BBC, New York Times and Reuters. The policing activities have received both support and criticism across the world (Lo et al , 2020). It is appropriate to seek an understanding of the attitudes of international tourists to such policing and any changes to the destination inflicted by the ongoing social movement.…”

PurposePolicing activities aim to provide a safe environment for tourists. With the recent major protests that have erupted around the world, and the novel use of excessive police force against protestors, people may wonder if the policing deployment is for destination safety or to deter tourists from visiting. This paper aims to investigate anti-police and pro-police attitudes and tourists' behavioural responses towards a popular destination experiencing an ongoing social movement.Design/methodology/approachData were collected between December 2019 and January 2020 (during the social movement). An online survey with a snowball sampling method was adopted to reach international tourists who were aware of the social movement in Hong Kong.FindingsThe results revealed that an individual with an anti-police attitude was found to be related to cognitive and affective destination images and perceived risks while those holding a pro-police attitude were more concerned with destination images only. No significant correlation was found between attitudes towards policing and travel intention.Originality/valueThis research presents a first attempt to investigate the relationship between tourists' policing attitudes and their behavioural responses during an ongoing social movement in a popular destination city.
