Common myths regarding rural crime are challenged by exploring its diverse dimensions from a central conceptual focal point; the many 'roads' that lead into and out of rural spaces, whether literal, virtual or figurative. With a focus on the Australian countryside, the authors examine issues such as drug abuse, persecution of wildlife, rural penal practices, and health in Indigenous communities. \u003cbr\u003e The first substantive edited collection to focus on notions of the mobility of crime within, to and from rural spaces, this interdisciplinary collection draws together contributions from criminology, politics, sociology, Indigenous studies, literature and anthropology to significantly contribute to our understanding of rural crime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlistair Harkness\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of New England, Australia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRob White\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Professor of Criminology at the University of Tasmania, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.1 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480598176051,"sku":"9781800436459","price":170.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/0746\/3731\/files\/yYDcQOrY689781800436459.webp?v=1783039622","url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/crossroads-of-rural-crime-representations-and-realities-of-transgression-in-the-australian-countryside-hardcover","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
