Description
Addressing a lack of research on rural policing — particularly in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean — this groundbreaking edited collection draws on northern, southern and post-colonial perspectives in global contexts. Key scholars explore the lived experiences of rural crime and policing, police responses to domestic violence and people with mental illness, skilfully setting out the ways in which rural policing differs from its urban counterpart. This is a timely, forward-looking book for researchers, practitioners and policy makers in understanding successful rural policing dynamics in the present and future.
