Advances in Rural Criminology: A Review of Three Recently Published Books
In the interest of full disclosure, I am a contributor to a chapter (“Theoretical and Empirical Gaps in Rural Criminology”) in the Bowden and Harkness (2022) edited book, and co-author with them for the final chapter (“The Future for Rural Criminology: Transcendence and Transformation of Borders”). I am the editor for the Routledge Series in Rural Criminology in which the monograph authored by DeKeseredy is published. As well, I have co-authored/…
A New Theory of Globalization, Natural Resource Extraction and Violence Against Women: Toward Solving the Linkage Problem
A Critical Appraisal of Amish Studies' De Facto Paradigm, 'Negotiating with Modernity
The predominant paradigm for Amish research over the past three decades has been 'negotiating with modernity' (NWM). NWM explains how the Amish as a distinctive American culture and religion have overcome the threats modernity poses to their existence. This article argues that NWM has been accepted and replicated uncritically and without empirical testing due to properties making it inherently untestable. We first synthesize the central NWM liter…
Chasing Windmills
WindmillsCriminology in the United States has contributed much to the theoretical and empirical advance of criminology worldwide.However, along with its great contributions have come the opposite.To the latter can be added Conservative Criminology, a wide-ranging collection of accusations and claims against the perceived liberal bias of criminology in the United States, with the ancillary assumption that all that is not ideologically conservative…
Lessons for scholarizing from contributions to the International Handbook of Rural Criminology
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows some primary relationships between criminological theory and rural criminology. It demonstrates how gendered forms of power relationships within rural and remote communities of Australia help with understanding violence against women, child abuse, and the abuse of older people. The book illustrates that global econom…
Introduction to the International Handbook of Rural Criminology
Individuals who exhibit an anti-rural haughtiness are not easily avoided at the criminological get-togethers, but the real source of the urban bias is better described by the old Durkheimian phrase &s;collective conscience&s;. Even though the proportion of the world&s;s population that is urban will continue to increase, throughout this century the rural population will number in the billions, and the places where they live will number in the ten…

Intersectionality, Rural Criminology, and Re-imaging the Boundaries of Critical Criminology
One of the significant shortcomings of the criminological canon, including its critical strands—feminist, cultural and green—has been its urbancentric bias. In this theoretical model, rural communities are idealised as conforming to the typical small-scale traditional societies based on cohesive organic forms of solidarity and close density acquaintance networks. This article challenges the myth that rural communities are relatively crime free pl…

Leading Community Innovation: Organizing Successful Rural Telecommunications Self-Development Projects
In the mid-1990s, many U.S. rural communities began engaging in telecommunications self-development projects in an attempt to stabilize declining economies and support long-term community viability. This study uses a comparative case-study design to assess the effectiveness of the community-action processes that five communities used to create telecommunications self-development projects. The study identifies six organizational and community proc…
Thinking Critically About Rural Gender Relations: Toward a Rural Masculinity Crisis/Male Peer Support Model of Separation/Divorce Sexual Assault
The policing of farm crime
This paper reports on the findings of a study that investigated the response of rural police to property‐related victimisations on farms. Data for this research come from: (1) a survey among randomly selected farmers in New South Wales, Australia, supplemented by follow‐up interviews with farmers who had been victims of crime; and (2) interviews with 36 rural police officers on their views about farm crime. The findings highlight the problems of …
A Tale of Two Towns: Social Structure, Integration and Crime in Rural New South Wales
This paper examines social factors that are associated with crime in two rural Australian communities with high proportions of Aboriginal people. It draws upon the theoretical contributions of Braithwaite (1989) to explain how levels of community integration and cohesion affect the presence of crime. Data for the case studies are derived from secondary statistics, surveys, observation and in-depth interviews. Existing literature on crime in Austr…

Local Preparedness for Terrorism: A View from Law Enforcement
This article examines the views of the law enforcement community concerning critical issues related to local preparedness for possible terrorists' incidents. Information is derived from a statewide conference held on domestic preparedness in Ohio. Representatives from law enforcement agencies located in all 88 counties of the state attended the conference, and determined a set of top-five priority issues in response to four discussion questions: …
Property Crime and Crime Prevention on Farms in Australia
An Analysis of Substance Use Among Adolescents From Smaller Places
This study examined trends in substance use among 12th grade students who live in smaller places. Subjects from smaller places were defined as those residing in nonmet‐ropolitan and metropolitan counties who reported growing up on a farm, in the country (i.e., living in an unincorporated rural area but not on a farm) or in a small town (i.e, living in a place with fewer than 50,000 residents that is not a suburb or located next to a larger place)…
Primary Socialization Theory: The Etiology of Drug Use and Deviance. I
The fundamental theorem of primary socialization theory is that normative and deviant behaviors are learned social behaviors, products of the interaction of social, psychological, and cultural characteristics, and that norms for social behaviors, including drug use, are learned predominantly in the context of interactions with the primary socialization sources. During adolescence, learning of social behaviors is frequently dominated by interactio…
An Analysis of Factors Related to Parity among the Amish in Northeast Ohio
This paper examines fertility in terms of parity or number of children in a family among three Amish church affiliations in the Greater Holmes County Amish settlement in Northeast Ohio, USA. The church affiliations essentially constitute three religious groups with common cultural characteristics, as well as some different values and beliefs which set each one apart from the others. Moreover, family size among the three Amish affiliations (Andy W…
The Changing Occupational Structure of Amish Males1
As a subculture, the Amish sustain a distinctive way of life while maintaining linkages with the larger society. Historically, this has been accomplished within the economic sphere through restriction of livelihood to farming and at-home occupations. This article documents the growing differentiation of the occupational structure of the Amish and their movement to nonfarm occupations. Occupational changes are discussed in terms of their impacts o…
Fear of crime and perceived risk amonc older widowed women
Two theories are utilized to identify potential predictors of fear of crime. Respondents (TV = 300) were older urban, widowed females, a group recognized as particularly vulnerable to fear of crime. Measures consisted of respondents' characteristics, their neighborhood's characteristics, their perceptions about crime, and their victimization experiences. A logistic analysis provided only limited support for two theories on fear of crime. Further …
