The book serves as a quick introduction to an important but often neglected field: rural criminology. It summarizes a range of issues related to crime and safety in rural areas, including their implications for rural development at large and the UN sustainable development goals.  

 Topics covered among many others:

• Crime trends and patterns in rural/semi-rural areas, including typical rural crime such as e.g., farm crime and environmental & wildlife crime.

• Rural policing and crime prevention

• Safety perceptions of rural inhabitants of various backgrounds, e.g., women and LGBTQ+. 

The book is especially suitable as a quick introduction to the topic of rural crime and community safety for students, especially those of criminology, geography and rural studies.
