Joe Donnermeyer publishes book on farm crime with Routledge
Joe Donnermeyer, a rural criminologist who is retired from the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University, recently published a book with Routledge titled “Farm Crime: An International Perspective.” It is billed as the first book to summarize the existing literature from across the globe about agricultural victimization and seeks to demonstrate the vulnerability of farms and farm families to both property and violent crime and how it threatens their livelihood and lifestyles. The book provides both a descriptive synthesis of agricultural victimization and a discussion of various criminological theories applied to its study and is useful for a variety of researchers and scientists.
