Journal: International Journal of Rural Criminology
Year: 2016

Much of the research on rural crime has focused on the U.S. In recent years, however, there has been a dramatic increase in rural crime research in other regions of the world. This paper will report the results of a systematic review of rural crime research conducted outside of the United States. The review identifies common themes, including the manner in which rural is defined, the types of crime examined, and the methodology employed.
