Kyle Mulrooney holds a Ph.D. in Cultural and Global Criminology from the University of Kent and Universität Hamburg, an MA in the Sociology of Law from the International Institute for the Sociology of Law and a BA (Honours) in Criminology and Justice from Ontario Tech University. Kyle has a particular interest in questions of how we as a society determine what is considered criminal, how we then respond to crime, and why we elect particular solutions to do so. Kyle’s current research centres on rural criminology and explores how aspects of cultural geography and locational context impact upon the types, incidences and responses to crime and access to related services. He has published on issues ranging from crime prevention and policing to drug consumption and criminal justice. Kyle serves as the Co-Director of the Centre for Rural Criminology (UNE) and as the Vice President (elect) of the International Society for the Study of Rural Crime. He is a recognised international expert in rural criminology, with his research and work being utilised by policy-makers and industry in practice and called upon often in the media.
