- Abstract
- Although reporting of the policing of protest is mainly confined to urban environments, protest is not confined to one type of geographic locality. Rural, regional and remote (RRR) policing has often been ignored by criminologists, historians and geographers (Mawby & Yarwood 2011): this is particularly true of RRR policing of dissent in Australia. Rural policing is a specialised activity in itself. It is traditionally embodied within a community policing ethos with the local police station symbolic of stability and emergency assistance. A couple of police historians - Haldane (1995) for Victoria and Johnston (1992) for Queensland - have referred to the impact of the policing of protest but do not analyse the processes involved. This chapter focuses on the policing of industrial disputes and other form of protests (including environmental unrest) in rural and regional locations and explores how that policing is affected by place.
