Crime Views of Canadian and U.S. College Students

• In Event: Crime and Victimization in Various Cultural Contexts

Abstract

Even though Canada and the U.S. are strong trading partners and share much in common, each nation responds in slightly different ways to crime. This study examined if the views of crime, criminals, and how to respond differed between students at a Canadian university and students at a U.S. university. The results will be presented and discussed.
