11 fresh rural crime research articles
Volume 31, Edition 4 of Acta Criminologica, the Southern African Journal of Criminology, contains a wealth of new research on rural crime.
This special edition, edited by ISSRC executive member Willie Clack, contains 11 articles which will be of much interest and usefulness to scholars and others interested in rural crime. This collection of research contributes greatly to arresting the “trend of neglect” in criminological research which Willie Clack argues focuses on urban crime with rural crimes too often not recognised as a distinct phenomenon “despite equal importance”.
