Introduction to Volume 10, Issue 1 (Special Issue): Rural Criminology, Place, and Governance: Scientific Dialogues from the Atlantic Rural Criminology Meeting
Abstract
This special issue builds on the scientific dialogues initiated at the Atlantic Rural Criminology Meeting, an international hybrid symposium held on November 8, 2024, at the Université de Moncton, in Moncton (New Brunswick, Canada). New Brunswick, much like the other Atlantic provinces of Canada, is marked by a large share of its population living in rural areas. In 2021, 36.8% of New Brunswick’s population lived outside of urban centres, compared with 16.1% for Canada as a whole]. In addition to contributions from four continents, this symposium stands out for its presentations addressing local issues affecting Canada’s rural communities. Designed as a forum for sustained scholarly exchange, this event brought together researchers and practitioners from multiple countries and disciplinary traditions to explore the ways in which rurality influences crime, harm, regulation, and justice. The articles assembled in this issue extend those discussions.
