The discussion highlights how geographical isolation can hinder crime reporting and law enforcement response, while solid community ties in rural communities can deter and conceal criminal activities.

They are imposing new challenges on the police and demanding new modes of crime prevention and policing. This webinar is structured around shared issues around the Globe, proposals for future research, and what current evidence means for practice.
