NRCN Report Final

The National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) is pleased to announce the release of our new report –

Rural Crime: Serious Organised and International
Who Victimises Rural Communities?

The research offers an unprecedented look into the complex nature of crime impacting rural communities. 

Produced by Dr. Kate Tudor, this comprehensive research dispels outdated assumptions about rural crime as minor or opportunistic. The findings reveal a pattern of organised criminal activity targeting rural areas.

The report also provides policymakers, law enforcement, and stakeholders with the data and insights necessary to develop more targeted and impactful strategies for safeguarding rural communities.

To combat these threats effectively, the NRCN has also developed a comprehensive 10-point plan. This action-oriented strategy draws upon the report’s key findings, outlining critical steps for strengthening law enforcement, empowering communities, and targeting the root causes of organised rural crime.
 
The plan prioritises enhanced collaboration and targeted interventions to create lasting change for the safety and well-being of rural areas.
