Rezensionen

This compilation of research on crime prevention in rural communities from around the world highlights the diversity of crimes that impact rural spaces as well as the commonalities in the way rural people experience and respond to crime. This is a valuable contribution to furthering global knowledge and understanding of rural criminology.

Rural Prevention: Theory, Tactics and Prevention is another milestone in rural criminology's development... a book that addresses crime, theory, prevention and justice in many parts of the world. Even more significantly, it does so by placing chapters by academics next to narratives by practitioners. There is no better example of praxis in criminology than a series of tandem readings on the same subject. So, my friends - buy extra Sharpies, for without doubt, you will be highlighting a great deal of this book.

Rural crime is in many respects both unique and ubiquitous. It therefore requires specific crime prevention approaches and techniques that address the complicated needs of the people, animals, plants and ecosystems inhabiting rural spaces. Drawing upon examples from Australia, North America, South Africa, Mexico and the United Kingdom, Rural Crime Prevention provides a vital stepping stone for enhanced global dialogue on preventing crime in non-urban settings.

For most criminologists who might never have considered rural crime, this book considerably expands the subject matter of the discipline. From its origins in Australia, the book includes contributions from many countries and regions of the world. The interweaving of practitioners' perspectives brings the academic discussions to life. Altogether, Rural Crime Prevention provides an enlightening and thought-provoking read.
