9 Rural Criminology in Global Perspective: Emerging Themes
-
Abstract
This chapter discusses the emerging themes from the chapters in this book, capturing the global state of the art in rural criminology. This final chapter sets out the basic schema that helps us to build theory from each contribution and discusses some emerging critical issues. Some key points of note are that criminology in the Southern Hemisphere, for example, has very different concerns than criminology in Europe and North America. The history of colonialism has shaped the map in criminology and criminal justice particularly, but not exclusively, in the Global South. There are also differences in state formation and the uneven dispersal of formal justice systems that might be taken for granted in parts of the developed world.
