Abstract

Whilst there is a plethora of scholarship in a multitude of forms which canvass a wide array of types of victimisation and theories of victimology, there exists no sustained body of work which assesses the intersection of 'rurality' and 'victimisation'. The majority of existing victimological literature focuses on urban settings. This book seeks to redress this through the examination of the intersection of place (specifically rurality) and victimisation. This chapter provides an introduction to the contemporary context of rural victimisation, canvassing the issues to be covered throughout the book set under three distinct themes - the representations, realities of and responses to rural victims.
