{"product_id":"crime-and-safety-in-the-vania-ceccato-9783030982898","title":"Crime and Safety in the Rural: Lessons from Research","description":"\u003cp\u003eCriminology has until recently neglected the nature and levels of crime outside the urban realm. This is not a surprise as crime tends to concentrate in urban areas and the police directs resources where the problems are. Yet, there are many reasons why scholars, decision-makers and society as a whole should care about crime and safety in rural areas. This book highlights 20 reasons why crime and safety in rural areas is a topic of relevance. We attempt to untangle currently simplistic views of the rural by discussing a number of facets of the countryside as both safe and criminogenic, and more importantly, a hybrid place worth to be examined in its own right. We adopt the notion of a \u003cb\u003e\u003cem\u003erural-urban continuum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e that captures the nuances of places of varied nature, spanning from remote and desolate spaces to accessible and connected environments of the urban fringe. Areas on the rural-urban continuum may be in constant transformation given local and global influences, which imposes challenges for policing and long-term social sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, the book critically reviews a rich body of English-language literature in rural criminology that extends over more than four decades--a scholarship that has engaged researchers and practitioners in all continents. The books finishes with a discussion of the emergent research questions of the field, and offers implications for practice and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vania Ceccato, Jonatan Abraham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030982890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030982898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.31d","brand":"Vania Ceccato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078787231999,"sku":"9783030982898","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d87b2072-f10e-4f31-81af-98f6cca47e2b.jpg?v=1685477516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crime-and-safety-in-the-vania-ceccato-9783030982898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
