Rural Crime Prevention: Theory, Tactics and Techniques, edited by Dr Alistair Harkness, has been listed in the Top 100 Criminology Books as compiled by Book Authority. Dr Harkness was a contributor to the book, as well as its editor. 

For those unfamiliar with the collection, Rural Crime Prevention: Theory, Tactics and Techniques critically analyses, challenges, considers and assesses a suite of crime prevention initiatives across an array of international contexts. The book recognises the diversity and distinct features of rural places and the ways that these elements impact on rates, experiences and responses. Crucially, Rural Crime Prevention also incorporates non-academic voices which are embedded throughout the book, linking theory and scholarship with practice.
