Criminology has until recently neglected the nature and levels of crime outside the urban realm. This is not a surprise as crime tends to concentrate in urban areas and the police directs resources where the problems are. Yet, there are many reasons why scholars, decision-makers and society as a whole should care about crime and safety in rural areas. This book highlights 20 reasons why crime and safety in rural areas is a topic of relevance. We attempt to untangle currently simplistic views of the rural by discussing a number of facets of the countryside as both safe and criminogenic, and more importantly, a hybrid place worth to be examined in its own right. We adopt the notion of a rural-urban continuum that captures the nuances of places of varied nature, spanning from remote and desolate spaces to accessible and connected environments of the urban fringe. Areas on the rural-urban continuum may be in constant transformation given local and global influences, which imposes challenges for policing and long-term social sustainability. Then, the book critically reviews a rich body of English-language literature in rural criminology that extends over more than four decades—a scholarship that has engaged researchers and practitioners in all continents. The books finishes with a discussion of the emergent research questions of the field, and offers implications for practice and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

"De que temos medo no nosso confronto com as grandes urbes? Que figuras da ameaça convocam receios e evitamentos de espaços, grupos ou indivíduos específicos? Como molda a hipótese predatória o viver quotidiano, como se reflete o rumor insecurizante na nossa experiência de cidade? A Imagem Predatória da Cidade: Uma Etnografia do Medo é o livro que resulta da tese de doutoramento de Ximene Rego. Um trabalho a vários títulos singular: porque é uma etnografia levada a cabo por uma psicóloga, porque traz para a prática etnográfica um objeto aparentemente intangível como o sentimento de insegurança, porque põe frente a frente o medo à cidade nos portuenses e nos cariocas, com a investigação conduzida no Porto e no Rio de Janeiro. O rigor metodológico e a profundidade do trabalho de campo, a ampla discussão de um objeto tecido no cruzamento da antropologia, da sociologia, da criminologia e da psicologia, bem como uma escrita cuja firmeza não dispensa a elegância são a marca que Ximene Rego traz para a análise dos fenómenos urbanos que nos inquietam e fascinam. Fascínio é também aquilo de que são capazes as páginas deste livro, se nos deixarmos embrenhar na narrativa sobre o medo à cidade que elas nos propõem", Luís Fernandes

La toxicomanie est, depuis des années, un fléau principalement urbain que les responsables de chaque ville essaient d’éradiquer. De nombreuses études ont démontré que les toxicomanes induisaient un sentiment d’insécurité chez la population. Cependant, les toxicomanes restent un public vulnérable et marginalisé, qui eux aussi peuvent ressentir un sentiment d’insécurité. Nous avons donc décidé de tourner le cheminement des autres études dans le sens inverse : pourquoi les toxicomanes ne ressentiraient pas de l’insécurité lorsqu’ils consomment en rue ?
Nous nous sommes concentrés sur trois types de facteurs, chacun divisé en sous-facteurs. Premièrement, nous avons étudié des facteurs individuels, tels que les expériences antérieures de victimisation, ainsi que leur rapport à la toxicomanie. Ensuite, nous avons étudié des facteurs environnementaux et collectifs, tels que les compétences d’adaptation perçues, la représentation et la caractérisation de l’environnement dangereux, ainsi que leur tolérance et leur civilité. Enfin, nous avons étudié les facteurs sociaux, tels que le rapport à la police et aux actions menées par celle-ci, le support des pairs et la prévention.
Pour étudier cela, nous nous sommes rendue dans un centre d’accueil liégeois pour toxicomanes et nous avons fait passer un entretien à treize usagers.
Les résultats ont permis de démontrer certaines tendances du comportement toxicomane en fonction de chaque facteur. Ces résultats seront plus détaillés dans notre étude. Nous avons aussi pu constater une tendance montrant un certain sentiment d’insécurité chez le public toxicomane. For years, drug abuse has been an urban plague that officials in every city are trying to eradicate. Many studies have shown that drug addicts induced a fear of crime in population. However, drug addicts are still a vulnerable and marginalized public, who can also experience a fear of crime. Therefore, we decided to turn the path of the other studies in the opposite direction : why wouldn’t drug addicts feel a fear of crime when they consume on the street ?
We focused on three types of factors, each of them divided into sub-factors. First, we studied individuals factors, which included previous victimization experiences and their relation to drug abuse. Then we studied environmental and collective factors, which included perceived coping skills, representation and characterization of the unsafe environment and tolerance and civility. Finally, we studied social factors, which included their relation to the police and their actions against them, peers support and prevention.
To study this, we went to an institution for drug addicts in Liège and interviewed thirteen users.
Results have shown tendencies in drug users behavior depending on each factor. These results will be more detailed in our study. We have also certified a tendency showing a certain fear of crime in drug users public.
