Publication Type: Juried Paper Abstract: Increasingly, rural communities around the world are subject to the same arrangements in social structure long associated with crime in urban centers. Consequently, a small but growing corpus of research has focused on rural crime. This paper examines how rural community structure and context is related to crime by utilizing two structural theories from criminology, social disorganization and conflict. Four rural communities in New South Wales were selected for a comparative case study: a larger coastal town and a smaller inland community with high proportions of Aboriginal People, and a smaller inland community and a larger coastal community with average percentages of Aboriginal people. Two communities had relatively high crime levels and two had below average crime levels, based on official crime statistics and corroborated through key informant interviews. A quasi-experimental research design tests the relationship between social disorganization and conflict with crime and Aboriginal status.
