"Rural Crime and Poverty: Violence, Drugs, and Other Issues" by Jean Ford explores the complex interplay between poverty and crime in rural areas. The book delves into various social issues that contribute to rising violence and drug-related activities in these communities. Ford examines the root causes of these problems, such as economic decline and limited access to resources, while also highlighting the impact on families and local economies. Through case studies and statistical analysis, the author emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address these challenges and improve the quality of life for rural populations.
