Summary/Abstract: The study examines an area at the bor-der of two disciplines, criminology and tourism, the victimization of foreign citi-zens in Budapest between 2017 and 2021. Until now, neither criminology (victimology) nor tourism science (tour-ism safety) has examined sufficiently this area. Based on police data, the au-thors investigated three topics: the na-tionality of foreign victims, the locations where they became victims, and the types of crimes committed against for-eign citizens. During the investigation, correlations have been revealed that could be used in developing tourism se-curity concepts and area-specific crime prevention strategies.
