Introduction to Part II: Rural Crime Studies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

This section considers an array of specific types of crime; all entries are focused on studies of particular crime types which are rural-specific.

One of the challenges in assembling this section of the encyclopedia, though, was determining what to include and what to exclude. Stock theft is a quintessential rural crime, so of course was included without hesitation. There are many other topics in criminology which equally apply to rural and urban settings, though - one example is cybercrime - but yet there exist specific nuances about this when considering rural contextualization.
