Abstract [en]

In rural areas, the experiences of victimisation and safety perceptions often differ from those in urban settings. Several key factors influence how people in rural areas perceive their safety and respond to victimisation. Victimisation also varies by individuals’ characteristics. These variations can influence how individuals perceive safety and prioritise reporting certain types of crimes. This chapter characterises the nature of victimisation and people’s safety perceptions in four country cases in very different country contexts. Two cases report on victimisation and safety perceptions in rural communities (Chile and Spain) and two cases look closer at a specific group being farmers (Sweden and Nigeria). The chapter unravels some common patterns in victimisation, crime reporting and safety perceptions in these four country cases and concludes by identifying gaps in research as well as making recommendations for future research and practice.
