PART III Access to Rural Justice: Economic Consequences and Policy Implications
Gender-based violence (GBV) can take many forms and have detrimental effects across generations and cultures. The triangulation of GBV, rurality and rural culture is a challenging and essential topic and this edited collection provides an innovative analysis of GBV in rural communities.
Focusing on under-studied and/or oppressed groups such as immigrants and LGBT+ people, the book explores new theories on patterns of violence. Giving insights into GBV education and prevention, the text introduces community justice and victim advocacy approaches to tackling issues of GBV in rural areas. From policy review into actionable change, the editors examine best practices to positively affect the lives of survivors.

A rural-specific intervention programme should focus on the intersectional characteristics of victims, access to rural justice, and specific community needs. Researchers can explore opportunities to develop such programmes by creating partnerships between victims and service providers, criminal justice agencies, local workforce development, and educational service providers and building service providers’ capacity to enhance services to rural victims. We propose a transformative justice model that emphasises changing the
