Survey bids to battle rural crime

An anonymous survey being conducted by the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association and Waterford Institute of Technology is hoped to lead to the creation of new rural crime prevention measures.

The ICSA is conducting the study in partnership with Kathleen Moore Walsh, law and criminology lecturer, WIT, and Louise Walsh, accounting and economics lecturer, WIT.

The survey invites farmers and rural dwellers to contribute data which could ultimately help combat agricultural crime.
