Meanwhile, back at the podcast, Lisa Ward is joined by Dr Kyle Mulrooney to discuss the Centre for Rural Criminology and the ‘Rural Crime & Law Photo Competition’ in conjunction with the Australian Centre for Agriculture and Law (‘AgLaw Centre’).

 

Dr Kyle Mulrooney tells us about the Centre for Rural Criminology, how rural crime and sentencing differs from those in urban settings, and the purpose of their rural crime photo competition.

 

Photography falls under the broader area of criminology known as ‘visual criminology’. Kyle says the aim of the rural crime photo competition is for the Centre to reach out to the community and to hear from them. Additionally, he talks about the photo competition also being an academic pursuit to see how people in rural spaces visualise crime and what perceptions of crime are like.
