Title: | The Future for Rural Criminology: Transcendence and Transformation of Borders | Contributor(s): | Harkness, Alistair (author) ; Bowden, Matt (author); Donnermeyer, Joseph F (author) | Publication Date: | 2022-07-29 | DOI: | 10.51952/9781529217773.ch011 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/53776 | Abstract: | This chapter contemplates the past, present and future of rural criminology, considering its transformation from a niche area of interest in the criminological field, oft overlooked, to what has become a burgeoning subdiscipline in its own right with an enviable growth trajectory. It reflects on the chance encounters that have brought together scholars and others from disparate academic spaces and geographic places to study rural crime. In so doing, it considers the notion of borders in a globalised world, the role and importance of networks, rural criminology as public criminology. The chapter contemplates what the future might hold, and recommends several actions to facilitate its advancement well into the twenty-first century. Even in a globalised world, both physical and intangible borders persist. Sometimes these borders can be glaringly obvious, some are curious, and others are controversial and contentious both historically and now. Borders also serve as metaphors for the divisions imposed in the academy. The chapter muses on how rural criminology provides an effective crossing of our own boundaries, and in the process how it has created an inclusive and dynamic space for research, scholarship and practice. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Rural Transformations and Rural Crime: International Critical Perspectives in Rural Criminology, p. 183-202 | Publisher: | Bristol University Press | Place of Publication: | Bristol, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781529217766 9781529217773 9781529217759 |
