Reviews

Overall, Crime in Rural Australia is an important addition to the literature. It is an immensely readable and succinct insight into a topic that often gains limited attention in urban communities and in the study of criminal law practice and criminology generally. The topic offers a fertile ground for further study. - Alternative Law Journal ,Vol 32(3), September 2007
