Chapter 12 - Prevention of farm crimes andcrimes against nature

• This chapter takes the issues of Chapter 8 forward by discussing the main crimeprevention initiatives related to farm crimes and environmental and wildlifecrimes (EWC). These crimes and their prevention are rarely in the headlines,which is not surprising given that in most countries crime control and preventionstrategies focus on big-city problems. The role of community in dealing withfarm crime and EWC in rural municipalities through crime prevention initiativesis given special attention. First, farm crimes and EWCs are framed taking intoaccount a selection of international studies followed by examples from Sweden.Then the chapter turns to new forms of surveillance and protest against farmcrime and EWC using ICT and social media.
