From studies of agricultural crime in Australia, to violence against women in Appalachia America, to poaching in Uganda, to land theft in Brazil -- the criminology community has come to recognize that crime manifests itself in rural localities in ways that both conform to and challenge conventional theory and research. For the first time, \u003ci\u003eRural Criminology \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together contemporary research and conceptual considerations to synthesize rural crime studies from a critical perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book dispels four rural crime myths, challenging conventional criminological theories about crime in general. It also examines both the historical development of rural crime scholarship, recent research and conceptual developments. The third chapter recreates the critical in the rural criminology literature through discussions of three important topics: community characteristics and rural crime, drug use, production and trafficking in the rural context, and agricultural crime. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNever before has rural crime been examined comprehensively, using any kind of theoretical approach, whether critical or otherwise. \u003ci\u003eRural Criminology \u003c\/i\u003edoes both, pulling together in one short volume the diverse array of empirical research under the theoretical umbrella of a critical perspective. This book will be of interest to those studying or researching in the fields of rural crime, critical criminology and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph F.
