49% of the world's population lives in small towns, villages and
farms, yet until recent years criminological scholarship has
focused almost exclusively on urban crimes. The Routledge
International Handbook of Rural Criminology is the first major
publication to bring together this growing body of scholarship
under a single cover. For many years rural criminology has remained
marginalized and often excluded from the mainstream, with
precedence given to urban criminology: this volume intends to
address that imbalance. Pioneering in scope, this book brings
together leading international scholars from fourteen different
countries to offer an authoritative synthesis of theoretical and
empirical literature. This handbook is divided in to seven parts,
each addressing a different aspect of rural criminology: Rurality
and crime Criminological dimensions of food and agriculture
Violence and rurality Drug use, production and trafficking in the
rural context Intersections between rural and green criminology
Policing, justice and rurality Teaching rural criminology Edited by
a world renowned scholar of rural criminology, this book explores
rural crime issues in over thirty-five countries including Japan,
Sweden, Brazil, Australia, Tanzania, the US, and the UK. This is
the first Handbook dedicated to rural criminology and is an
essential resource for criminologists, sociologists and social
geographers engaged with rural studies and crime.

The study of rural crime has the potential to make important
contributions to crime policy, criminological theory, and research
methods in criminology. Although most places in America remain
rural, researchers have paid insufficient attention to rural crime
and have not utilized the wide variations among rural areas as
natural laboratories for research. This report outlines what is
known about rural crime and suggests likely rural crime issues for
the future. Understanding rural crime requires understanding
factors that make rural life distinct from urban life, including
geography and culture. Understanding rural crime and anticipating
future rural crime issues also requires understanding how
technology, economic factors, and demographics shape the nature of
rural crime. Official police data and victimization data are used
to examine the levels of rural crime and to compare patterns of
rural and urban crime. A variety of sources are used to examine
substance abuse and domestic violence, two types of crime that
appear to have similar rates across rural and urban areas. The
report also focuses on the emerging issue of environmental crime in
rural areas. And, despite the importance of race in urban studies
of crime, little rural crime research has directly addressed links
between race and crime.
"A crucial text for whetting the academic appetite of those
studying criminology at university. The comprehensive engagement
with key crime and deviance debates and issues make this a perfect
springboard for launching into the complex, diverse and exciting
realm of researching criminology." - Dr Ruth Penfold-Mounce,
University of York "Essential reading for those new to the
discipline and an invaluable reference point for those well versed
in criminology and the sociology of crime and deviance." - Dr Mark
Monaghan, University of Leeds Key Concepts in Crime and Society
offers an authoritative introduction to key issues in the area of
crime as it connects to society. By providing critical insight into
the key issues within each concept as well as highlighted
cross-references to other key concepts, students will be helped to
grasp a clear understanding of each of the topics covered and how
they relate to broader areas of crime and criminality. The book is
divided into three parts: Understanding Crime and Criminality:
introduces topics such as the social construction of crime and
deviance, social control, the fear of crime, poverty and exclusion,
white collar crime, victims of crime, race/gender and crime. Types
of Crime and Criminality: explores examples including human
trafficking, sex work, drug crime, environmental crime, cyber
crime, war crime, terrorism, and interpersonal violence. Responses
to Crime: looks at areas such as crime and the media, policing,
moral panics, deterrence, prisons and rehabilitation. The book
provides an up-to-date, critical understanding on a wide range of
crime related topics covering the major concepts students are
likely to encounter within the fields of sociology, criminology and
across the social sciences.
Advancing Critical Criminology constitutes a timely addition to the
growing body of knowledge on critical criminology scholarship.
DeKeseredy and Perry have assembled a volume that provides scholars
with an in-depth review of the extant literature on several major
branches of criminology as well as examples of how critical
criminologists apply their theoretical perspectives to substantive
topics, such as drugs, interpersonal violence, and rural crime.
Accordingly, this work is divided into two main sections: overviews
of theories and applications. Each chapter provides a summary of
work in a specific area, along with suggestions for moving the
field forward. This reader is unique in its choice of topics, which
have often been overlooked in the past. An expert collection of
international scholars, Advancing Critical Criminology is certain
to stimulate lively debates and generate further critical social
scientific work in this field.
