Why is it important?
This book presents empirical evidence of the crimes affecting international students in Australia, the UK and the USA. The book covers many forms crimes from petty to serious in nature. It was found that most international students remain safe from crime. However, they are more likely to be victims rather than perpetrators.
Perspectives
This book was the result of my ARC Postdoctoral Fellowship. It brought together four years of research and 150 interviews I conducted in the USA, the UK and Australia.
