The edited collection examines and analyses how victim concepts are constructed across place and space, and how geographic location shapes the type and prevalence of victimisation. It also broadens victimology to include non-human subjects and the natural and built environment, linking theory to praxis through practical contemporary case studies and formal and informal response perspectives.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nThis volume fills a critical gap in the literature and significantly advances knowledge on rurality and victimization. Rich in detail and broad in scope, it offers a thoughtful and provocative challenge to the urban bias evident in victimization theory, research, and practice. A must read for all scholars and students interested in victimization and social contexts.  \n—Jillian Turanovic, Associate Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Florida State University  \nVictims of crime are neglected globally – and even more so in rural areas. Harkness and Hale address this void through Rural Victims of Crime, offering an innovative assessment of ‘the rural victim’. The book is an expedition through notions of place and space, constructions of rural victims in a variety of contexts, and the impact that geographic location has on the type and prevalence of victimisation. A mustread for academics and students of the subject.  \n—Willie Clack, Senior Lecturer in the School of Criminal Justice, the University of South Africa, Pretoria  \nVictimisation research typically focuses on urban settings, despite differences in experiences, impacts, risks, barriers to help-seeking, and responses in rural areas – as victim/survivors, advocates and practitioners can attest. This important collection provides much needed insights, evidence, theoretical and conceptual contributions, and calls for greater attention (and resourcing) beyond the cityscape.  \n—Bridget Harris, Associate Professor of Criminology, Monash University and Deputy Director, Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre  \nThis volume significantly expands our understanding of victimization by situating it in a global rural context. Opening chapters lay the groundwork for coverage of a range of substantive topics, each structured around a theoretical framework. Case studies accompany these topics, putting a human face on each.  \n—Ralph Weisheit, Distinguished Professor of Criminal Justice, Illinois State University  \nThis book brings to the forefront the vital link between the need to understand the context of victimisation for the billions of rural peoples around the world, and their great need for access to justice services in the countries where they live.  \n—Joseph F. Donnermeyer, Professor Emeritus, The Ohio State University  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nRURAL VICTIMS OF CRIME  \nRural Victims of Crime offers a pioneering sustained assessment of ‘the rural victim’. It does so by examining and analysing the conceptual constructs of a victim and challenging the urban bias of victimisation and victimology in criminological study. Indeed, far too much criminological scholarship is based on the false assumption that rural areas are relatively crime free – and thus free, too, of victims.  \nProviding international perspectives, chapters in this edited collection focus centrally on notions of place and space, and constructions of rural victims in a variety of contexts, exploring the impact that geographic location has on the type and prevalence of victimisation. The concept of victimisation is often considered in terms of interpersonal relationships between humans, neglecting the potent impact of victimisation of nonhumans and the natural and built environment. Rural Victims of Crime discusses existing notions of victimology in relation to non-human subjects, broadening conceptualisations of the victim and associated impacts resulting from victimisation. Structured in three parts, Rural Victims of Crime conceptualises the rural victim, enhances understanding of the realities of rural victimisation and considers both formal and informal responses to rural victimisation. Chapters are accompanied by practical, contemporary case studies to connect theory with praxis.  \nThis book is an essential and valuable resource for academics, students and practitioners alike in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, rural studies, victimology,","cbCaicSXJTFsElAs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicSXJTFsElAs","pdf",4417643,1,449,"English","en",105,"# Rural Victims of Crime\n## Conceptualizing the rural victim and urban bias\n## Place, space, and geographic impacts on victimisation\n## Expanding victimology beyond human interpersonal harm\n## Three-part structure: realities and responses\n## Contemporary case studies linking theory and praxis","[{\"question\":\"How does Rural Victims of Crime challenge existing victimisation research?\",\"answer\":\"It critiques the urban bias in victimisation and victimology by rejecting the assumption that rural areas are relatively crime-free and victim-free.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors does the book emphasize about rural victimisation?\",\"answer\":\"The book foregrounds notions of place and space, explaining how geographic location affects both the type and prevalence of victimisation.\"},{\"question\":\"Does the collection limit victimisation to harms between humans?\",\"answer\":\"No. It considers the potent impact of victimisation on non-humans and the natural and built environment, expanding conventional victim definitions.\"}]","Rural Victims of Crime -
