Introduction
Rural policing has been equally important as urban policing but neglected in criminal justice research. With the development of rural criminology and studies of rural policing, the extant research on rural policing started to blossom. Articles on rural policing included in the special issue need to be based on the original empirical qualitative, quantitative, or mixed research, conducted in the past ten years from different regions of the world. The articles should highlight the most recent issues in rural policing globally and contribute to the development of research in this field of criminal justice studies. Authors from all continents are welcome to contribute articles on contemporary policing in rural settings as well as comparative articles on rural vs urban policing to ascertain the main characteristics and challenges of rural policing.
