It’s National Rural Crime Action Week

National Rural Crime Action Week takes place from September 8th - 12th.

This year, the National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) is putting victims at the heart of the national conversation. Often isolated and unheard, victims of rural crime face unique challenges that are too easily overlooked. 

Through campaigns, events, and insight-sharing, the week will shine a light on the realities of those affected, and the action needed to better protect them.
