  • Ambivalent and Resilient: Attitudes towards crime in a rural community

    Crime against farms and rural communities in the UK has been characterised in recent years as an underreported and increasingly problematic issue. The National Rural Crime Survey noted that the Home Office figures of 294,000 rural crimes between April 2014 and May 2015 could be incorrect and the actual number of crimes could be as high as 403,000. It can be argued that reasons for this potential variation in reporting of crime may be due to a lack of confidence in rural policing strategies or an ambivalence towards crime within rural communities. Research on fear of crime is divided on the extent to which residents in rural communities experience anxiety and concern over crime threats. Drawing on empirical research conducted with farmers on the Isle of Anglesey, this presentation examines attitudes of residents of rural communities to the threat of crime. Highlighting how respondent’s demonstrated a determination to maintain a lifestyle with very limited fear of crime and a reluctance to engage with local government support and the police on matters of crime prevention and security. The findings of this paper have implications for our understanding of how to police rural crime and engage rural communities.
