Reviews for Rural Criminology in Global Perspective: State of the Art on the World's Continents

""Rural Criminology in Global Perspective offers the most comprehensive investigation and authoritative source to date on the criminology of rural spaces. The editors have collected a fascinating set of interdisciplinary studies spanning across all seven continents, including Antarctica. Meticulously researched, the collection offers a unique analysis of crime and criminal justice approaches in rural spaces across the world. This compelling anthology on rural criminology is a must read for academics, researchers, students and practitioners alike."" Sanja Kutnjak Ivkovich, Michigan State University ""Over the last twenty-five years, rural criminology has come of age, developed in range and methodologies, and is now truly international. This carefully organized and comprehensive set of essays crosses field-boundaries, borders and continents, and reminds us how the rural has shaped the global in relation to matters like crime, conflict, climate and colonialism."" Nigel South, University of Essex
