School Violence in Rural Areas: Prevalence, Explanation and Prevention Dr. Timothy C. Hayes University of North Georgia

Why Rural? Theories that do not account for variations in rural crime are being viewed as limited (Weisheit and Donnermeyer 2000) In Addition: Rural Crime has not declined as rapidly as crime in the urban setting Rural crime represents a relatively small proportion of the volume of crime in the US, but... The share of rural crime (compared to cities and suburbs) has grown

Why Rural Violence/Crime (contd.)? Relative risk of violence within rural areas is largely unchanged over the past few decades Rural crime has not changed in the same manner as urban crime
