Experts discuss rural crime and society on new vodcast / podcast series

/in , , /by

Rice Field during Golden Hour‘Rural criminology’ is a field of research that acknowledges rurality and community size has an impact on the incidence of crime, types of crime, response to crime and access to related services. The University of New England is a pioneer in this field of research, and remains well-placed to lead research in this field due to its location in regional Australia and acknowledged expertise in rural crime and society.

The Centre for Rural Criminology builds on UNE’s pioneering role in the development of the field of rural criminology. Together, the centre’s researchers and partners study the most compelling social problems that impact upon rural communities; from livestock theft and illicit drugs, to environmental crimes and interpersonal violence, and others.

The Centre’s Issues in Rural Crime and Society podcast/vodcast series brings to the fore an array of experts discussing a whole host of issues germane to rural criminology.
