Abstract

This article reviews three recently published books on rural criminology. "Crime and Safety in the Rural: Lessons from Research" by Ceccato and Abraham provides an international synthesis of rural literature, highlighting the importance of studying crime and safety in rural areas. "Rural Transformations and Rural Crime: International Critical Perspectives in Rural Criminology" edited by Bowden and Harkness explores the impact of rural transformations on safety and security. "Woman Abuse in Rural Places" by DeKeseredy focuses on violence against women in rural areas, challenging the notion of social disorganization theory. These books contribute to the growing field of rural crime and justice studies, which has become more diverse, critical, and international in the 21st century. [Extracted from the article]
