Abstract [en]

Using answers from two victimisation surveys, this chapter reports farmers’ experiences of victimisation and fear of crime in Sweden. Farmers can be exposed to various forms of crimes, some typically rural, from thefts (of machinery and fertilisers) and vandalism to threats and violence because of the activities they perform. Crime prevention practices as well as their confidence in the police are also discussed in the Swedish rural context. Based on responses from another survey, the chapter focuses on animal farmers (which are enterprises holding different types of animals for the production of food and derivates such as fur, skin, and medical products) directed to commercialisation. This group of farmers is of particular importance because they have become a target of harassment, assault and other types of crimes linked to animal rights activism. The chapter closes by making recommendations for both research and practice in the field of rural criminology.
