"""I can think of no more important issue associated with safety and security of rural peoples and rural communities than gender-based violence. This book is an important contribution to the examination of violence against rural women."" Joseph F. Donnermeyer, Ohio State University ""This collection debunks the still-popular myth that crime, including gender-based violence, is largely an urban problem. It provides an empirically based overview of GBV in rural communities that challenges readers to rethink the rural idyllic stereotype while recognizing the complexity and diversity of victims' experiences in rural places."" Claire M. Renzetti, University of Kentucky"
