Book Synopsis What Works in Preventing Rural Violence by : Barbara R. Monsey
Download or read book What Works in Preventing Rural Violence written by Barbara R. Monsey and published by Fieldstone Alliance. This book was released on 1995 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report details unique characteristics of rural violence and outlines 88 strategies to prevent violent behavior, improve services for victims, and reduce recidivism. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, rape, assault, and robbery rates tripled in rural communities from 1965 to 1992. Rural violence differs from urban violence in several key ways: rural victims of violence are much more likely to know their assailants than victims in urban areas; rural victims are more likely to report that the perpetrator was using alcohol as compared to urban victims; and while crime rates in rural areas are generally lower than urban or suburban areas, rural women are just as likely to experience violence at the hands of an intimate partner as their urban and suburban counterparts. Efforts that make a difference across all categories of violence include reducing drug and alcohol abuse, increasing community collaboration and education, reducing poverty, increasing the availability of health care and safe places for victims, and restricting access to firearms. The first part of the report lists strategies pertaining to physical assault, child abuse, rape and sexual assault, domestic abuse, elder abuse, suicide, and bias (hate) crimes. Strategies are categorized according to the research information available about their effectiveness. Those strategies that have been applied and studied in rural areas are specifically noted. Most strategies are followed by a reference number indicating a brief summary of the strategy in the appendix. The second part of the report includes a set of worksheets to help communities monitor violence and prevention efforts and assess the level of services available for dealing with violence. Contains 106 references. (LP)

Book Synopsis Rural Crime and Community Safety by : Vania A Ceccato
Download or read book Rural Crime and Community Safety written by Vania A Ceccato and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime is often perceived as an urban issue rather than a problem that occurs in rural areas, but how far is this view tenable? This book explores the relationship between crime and community in rural areas and addresses the notion of safety as part of the community dynamics in such areas. Rural Crime and Community Safety makes a significant contribution to crime science and integrates a range of theories to understand patterns of crime and perceived safety in rural contexts. Based on a wealth of original research, Ceccato combines spatial methods with qualitative analysis to examine, in detail, farm and wildlife crime, youth related crimes and gendered violence in rural settings. Making the most of the expanding field of Criminology and of the growing professional inquiry into crime and crime prevention in rural areas; rural development; and the social sustainability of rural areas, this book builds a bridge by connecting Criminology and Human Geography. This book will be suitable for academics, students and practitioners in the fields of criminology, community safety, rural studies, rural development and gender studies.
Book Synopsis Urban Resilience: Methodologies, Tools and Evaluation by : Octavio Francisco González Castillo
Download or read book Urban Resilience: Methodologies, Tools and Evaluation written by Octavio Francisco González Castillo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a select set of papers from an international and multidisciplinary approach, outlining the vanguard in the field of methodology, tools, and evaluation of the movement towards urban resilience. Reflecting on and redesigning the guidelines that orient the planning and management of urban development has become, today, an issue of global scope and priority that demands the committed and determined participation of society. Faced with the formidable challenge of guiding our cities towards sustainability, it is necessary to develop new approaches, paradigms, models, methodologies, and tools that make it possible to assess and raise the resilience profile of urban socio-ecosystems. The experiences that are developed in this book offer a wide and diverse set of concepts, theories, methodologies, instruments, and casuistry, impregnated by resilience notion, to inspire, influence, and guide thinking and practice for architects, urban planners, government officials, businessmen, civil and research organizations. In this book, the reader will be able to review either theoretical-methodology to organize notions on urban resilience, or application cases in a variety of areas and subsystems of a city but, being all of them inevitably and intricately linked through a complex matrix of structures and interactions that determine future, well-being, and resilience of urban socio-ecosystems in the global anthropo-environment.

Book Synopsis Crime and Policing in Rural and Small-Town America by : Ralph A. Weisheit
Download or read book Crime and Policing in Rural and Small-Town America written by Ralph A. Weisheit and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2005-09-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most researchers see the urban setting as being the only laboratory for studying crime problems throughout the United States, Crime and Policing in Rural and Small-Town America directly challenges this notion with an authoritative look at crime and the criminal justice system in rural America today. The assumption that rural crime is rare and comparable across various communities has led to incompatible theories and irrelevant practices. In order to transform this misconstruction, the Third Edition offers a clear outline of the definition of rural and provides a vital argument for why rural and small-town crime should be studied more than it is. The book also explores the individual nature of issues that emerge in these communities, including illegal drug production, domestic violence, agricultural crimes, rural poverty, and gangs, in addition to the training needs of rural police, probation in rural areas, and rural jails and prisons. Responding to rural crime requires an awareness of its context and how justice is carried out, as well as an appreciation of how features vary across rural areas. Understanding the relationships among crime, geography, and culture in the rural setting can reveal useful ideas and implications for crime and justice in communities across the United States.

Book Synopsis Rural Criminology by : Joseph F Donnermeyer
Download or read book Rural Criminology written by Joseph F Donnermeyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural crime is a fast growing area of interest among scholars in criminology. From studies of agricultural crime in Australia, to violence against women in Appalachia America, to poaching in Uganda, to land theft in Brazil -- the criminology community has come to recognize that crime manifests itself in rural localities in ways that both conform to and challenge conventional theory and research. For the first time, Rural Criminology brings together contemporary research and conceptual considerations to synthesize rural crime studies from a critical perspective. This book dispels four rural crime myths, challenging conventional criminological theories about crime in general. It also examines both the historical development of rural crime scholarship, recent research and conceptual developments. The third chapter recreates the critical in the rural criminology literature through discussions of three important topics: community characteristics and rural crime, drug use, production and trafficking in the rural context, and agricultural crime. Never before has rural crime been examined comprehensively, using any kind of theoretical approach, whether critical or otherwise. Rural Criminology does both, pulling together in one short volume the diverse array of empirical research under the theoretical umbrella of a critical perspective. This book will be of interest to those studying or researching in the fields of rural crime, critical criminology and sociology.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Criminology by : J. Mitchell Miller
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Criminology written by J. Mitchell Miller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 1969 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-volume work offers a comprehensive review of the pivotal concepts, measures, theories, and practices that comprise criminology and criminal justice. No longer just a subtopic of sociology, criminology has become an independent academic field of study that incorporates scholarship from numerous disciplines including psychology, political science, behavioral science, law, economics, public health, family studies, social work, and many others. The three-volume Encyclopedia of Criminology presents the latest research as well as the traditional topics which reflect the field's multidisciplinary nature in a single, authoritative reference work. More than 525 alphabetically arranged entries by the leading authorities in the discipline comprise this definitive, international resource. The pivotal concepts, measures, theories, and practices of the field are addressed with an emphasis on comparative criminology and criminal justice. While the primary focus of the work is on American criminology and contemporary criminal justice in the United States, extensive global coverage of other nations' justice systems is included, and the increasing international nature of crime is explored thoroughly. Providing the most up-to-date scholarship in addition to the traditional theories on criminology, the Encyclopedia of Criminology is the essential one-stop reference for students and scholars alike to explore the broad expanse of this multidisciplinary field.
