POLICING RURAL COMMUNITIES ROUNDTABLE – 2O OCTOBER 2020
Rural crime and criminal justice practices and responses face different challenges from those experienced in urban contexts.
This practitioner-focused roundtable investigated challenges and innovations in international contexts on issues surrounding rural policing.
This roundtable provided an opportunity for participants to hear first-hand from four leaders in rural policing about work being done in both hemispheres to police rural crime.
We asked our panellists two key things:
- What are the key challenges for rural policing?
- What innovations are being deployed internationally to address these challenges?
Ample opportunity was provided for attendees to engage with the panel.
The panel:
Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside
State Rural Crime Coordinator, New South Wales Police Force (Australia)
Inspector Alan Dron
National Rural Crime Co-ordinator, Police Scotland
Tori Heaney
Farm Crime Advisor, Farm Crime Coordination Unit, Victoria Police (Australia)
Christian Mouhanna
Director, Centre de recherches sociologiques sur le droit et les institutions pénales (Centre for Sociological Research on Law and Criminal Justice Instututions)
