Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Rural criminology is an emerging field that looks to address the relatively neglected, due to criminology’s urban-centric bias (Donnermeyer & DeKeseredy, 2014), issue of rural crime and criminality. Conducting criminological research in rural environments provides its own unique methodological challenges and concerns. In this panel, participants present and discuss some of the challenges they have encountered in their rural scholarship. Topics range from the exploration of domestic violence against women in rural settings, methamphetamine production and use in rural Oklahoma, theoretical application in rural crime studies and issues with quantitative data.
