2023 Australian Farm Crime Survey – They Need Your Help Which Will Ultimately Help Farmers.
The first attempt in more than 20 years to build an understanding of rural crime on a national scale was launched in June by University of New England ’s Centre for Rural Criminology.
The survey seeks to gain a better understanding of the climbing rate of rural crime from the perspective of farmers and landholders.
The Centre’s co-director, Dr. Kyle Mulrooney, says in order to combat farm crime, police and policymakers need better information from those involved in farming who have key insights into the important issues.
The survey will ask landholders to detail their experiences of rural crime, and gather opinions about the effectiveness of crime prevention.
