Title: | Police as builders of social capital with farmers: Addressing property theft from farms in Victoria, Australia | Contributor(s): | Harkness, Alistair (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/29481 | Open Access Link: | https://eprints.qut.edu.au/93147/1/ConferenceProceedings_3rdInternationalCJSDConference_2015.pdf | Abstract: | Introduced in 2011, Victoria Police Agricultural Liaison Officers (AGLOs) have expertise in rural crime and are tasked with providing enhanced responses to farm victimisation. In addition to operating in a detective capacity, AGLOs perform educative and outreach duties. Utilising a framework of social capital, this paper investigates the roles which AGLOs assume in building and strengthening relationships between police and farmers. It considers the importance of strong police-community relationships, community policing and the problem-orientated policing approach of the AGLO program. It is asserted that with further resourcing, AGLOs could concentrate more directly on building trust with local communities to allow for awareness of, and better responses to, property thefts from farms. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Crime, Justice and Social Democracy: 3rd International Conference 2015, Brisbane, Australia, 9th - 10th July, 2015 | Source of Publication: | Crime, Justice and Social Democracy: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference, 2015, v.1, p. 18-26 | Publisher: | Queensland University of Technology, Crime and Justice Research Centre | Place of Publication: | Brisbane, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160205 Police Administration, Procedures and Practice 160299 Criminology not elsewhere classified 160804 Rural Sociology |
