Conducting rural criminological research exposes researchers to
concerns such as absence or inadequate official data about crime
and superficial rural-urban comparisons, rural isolation and
distance from the researchers' office to the study site, and lack
of services or access to justice. This distinct cultural context
means that studying rural crime requires creatively adapting
existing research methods. Conducting research about or in rural
settings requires unique researcher preparation, as everything from
defining the space at the conception of a project to collecting and
analyzing data differs from urban research. This book explores the
various issues, challenges, and solutions for rural researchers in
criminology. Integrating state of the art methodological approaches
with practical illustrations, this book serves as an
internationally comprehensive compendium of methods for students,
scholars, and practitioners. While contributing to the growing
field of rural criminology, it will also be of interest to those
engaged with the related areas of rural health care, rural social
work, and rural poverty.
