Abstract

The present study aims to explore the social factors which contribute towards Real Estate Crimes (RECs) against Overseas Pakistanis (OPs). This research would be the first of its kind and nature. It would study the social causes of RECs against Ops from the perspective of the victims. The present study is qualitative in nature and used the Multiple Case Study Design to study the topic under investigation. Thirty-six participants were selected through purposive sampling from the district of Lahore. Data was collected through in-depth interviews. The findings revealed that being away from the properties (absentee owners), lack of legal awareness and proper knowledge, blind trust, greed, unguarded properties, patriarchy, and being away from their tribe were the major reasons of real estate crimes against overseas Pakistanis. Overseas Pakistanis should not have blind trust on others and rather they must complete required documentation of their properties. They should be cautiously social enough to have check and balance on their property along with taking appropriate steps to safeguard them by keeping themselves abreast of latest development related to laws and neighborhood of the property. So that a culprit may not tend to consider committing RECs against their properties since the culprits of RECs are rational offender who do their cost-benefit analysis before committing such crimes.

针对海外巴基斯坦人房地产犯罪的社会决定因素

本研究旨在探讨影响海外巴基斯坦人房地产犯罪的社会因素。这项研究将是同类研究中的第一次。它将从受害者的角度研究针对Ops的RECs的社会原因。本研究本质上是定性的，并采用多案例研究设计来研究被调查的主题。通过有目的抽样从拉合尔地区选出36名参与者。通过深度访谈收集数据。调查结果显示，远离房产(不在场的业主)、缺乏法律意识和适当的知识、盲目信任、贪婪、无人看管的房产、父权制和远离他们的部落是针对海外巴基斯坦人的房地产犯罪的主要原因。海外巴基斯坦人不应该盲目信任别人，而是必须完成他们财产的必要文件。他们应该谨慎地社交，对自己的财产进行检查和平衡，并采取适当的措施，通过了解与财产相关的法律和社区的最新发展来保护他们。因此罪犯可能不会考虑对他们的财产进行RECs，因为RECs的罪犯是理性的罪犯，他们在犯罪之前会进行成本效益分析。

期刊介绍： Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure & Events provides a unique forum for critical discussion of public policy debates relating to the fields of tourism, leisure and events. This encompasses the economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions of official intervention. In addition to high quality theoretical and empirical papers, the journal publishes contributions examining the value of contrasting methodologies, or advocacy of novel methods. Inter- and multi-disciplinary submissions are particularly welcome. In order to foster debate and extend the scope of discussion, it publishes shorter carefully argued position statements on specific, topical interventions in the Contemporary Policy Debates section. In addition, the journal’s novel Dialogues section involves ‘point/counter-point’ debates between contributors on a range of policy-related or policy research-related topics. These may interrogate key concepts from different cultural, theoretical or spatial perspectives, or discuss potential responses to a range of practical challenges involved in undertaking policy-related research in the fields of tourism, leisure and events. With a swiftly growing academic reputation, the journal is ‘B’ rated by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC). It has received citations from a number of senior practitioners and influential bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
