Crime Prevention and Security Management

Bunei, Emmanuel; Clack, Willie

This edited collection synthesises rural criminological issues in Africa. It focusses on rural areas and rural communities in Africa in terms of victimisation, offending, lived experiences of law or being victims, policing, crime prevention, and theories and research methods. The chapters vary from conceptual, to focusing on a specific issue e.g. agricultural crime, corruption or Indigenous policing, a country, region, or all of Africa, with comparisons between countries and regions. Major themes include colonialism, human trafficking, causes and impacts of rural crimes in Africa, corruption, criminological theories in Africa, Indigenous policing in rural Africa, and cross-cutting issues.
