Crime and Safety in the Rural : Lessons from research Paperback / softback
by Vania Ceccato, Jonatan Abraham
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Criminology series
Paperback / softback
Description
Criminology has until recently neglected the nature and levels of crime outside the urban realm.
This is not a surprise as crime tends to concentrate in urban areas and the police directs resources where the problems are.
Yet, there are many reasons why scholars, decision-makers and society as a whole should care about crime and safety in rural areas.
This book highlights 20 reasons why crime and safety in rural areas is a topic of relevance.
We attempt to untangle currently simplistic views of the rural by discussing a number of facets of the countryside as both safe and criminogenic, and more importantly, a hybrid place worth to be examined in its own right.
We adopt the notion of a rural-urban continuum that captures the nuances of places of varied nature, spanning from remote and desolate spaces to accessible and connected environments of the urban fringe.
Areas on the rural-urban continuum may be in constant transformation given local and global influences, which imposes challenges for policing and long-term social sustainability. Then, the book critically reviews a rich body of English-language literature in rural criminology that extends over more than four decades—a scholarship that has engaged researchers and practitioners in all continents.
The books finishes with a discussion of the emergent research questions of the field, and offers implications for practice and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
