Description	This chapter describes the nature and impact of agricultural crime and draws together the key issues from the few studies that have been conducted around the world to stress the importance of agricultural crime for the agendas of criminologists, governments, policymakers, police, farmers and the communities where they live. The failure of farmers to report crimes contributes to a lack of public knowledge or understanding about the extent and impact of crime victimisation and is one of the greatest obstacles to policing of agricultural crime. A major challenge for the policing of stock theft and one of the main reasons victims elect not to report theft is the inability to prove ownership of stolen stock. The strength of informal social control in rural areas is facilitated by population stability and community residents knowing each other well, which contributes to their collective efficacy. Crime control and prevention on farms is promoted through 'farm watch' or 'rural watch' schemes. Book Name: The Routledge International Handbook of Rural Criminology
