Please check my mistake-correction exercise

Please check my following exercise. My task is to find and correct all mistakes found in the passage. I have underlined incorrect words and corrected them below the passage.
The relationship between tourism and crime have long been noted. Tourism development creates centers of population which visitors are obvious by their dress and the areas they visit. They also tend to carry easily disposed of items of wealth such as cameras, cash and credit cards. They are temporary visitors, and as such are unable to take place much pressure into the law enforcement agencies to take action against criminals, or indeed, if the criminals are caught and brought to court, are likely to appear as persecution witnesses. Tourist zones are areas of criminal opportunity, potentially low detected and even lower convicted rates for criminal activity. In such conditions petty crime can be flourished as is evidenced by stories of Italian youths on scooters seizing handbags from female tourists, or rent cars’ windows being smashed even whilst the occupants sit at traffic lights.

CliveHi,

Don't you mean this phrasal verb is in this case to form an adjective "easily disposed-of items". And what would "disposed-of" mean? Does it mean "items which are easy to get rid of" or "items which can easily be robbed of"?

Concerning "credit cards, it's my typo. In the original text it is "credit card". Maybe it's something like inertia to me.
