The Theft of Plant and Agricultural Machinery and Vehicles

In this podcast, Kyle and Alistair speak with Dr. Kate Tudor and her research around the theft of plant and agricultural machinery and vehicles, including the role of organised crimes and responsibilities of governments and companies to combat this issue.

Dr. Tudor is an Associate Professor in Criminology and Durham University in the United Kingdom. Her research interests broadly relate to the intersections between crime, harm and political economy. She has conducted empirical research with serious fraudsters which examines the relationship between late-capitalism and illicit entrepreneurial forms. Most recently, Kate has carried out extensive research around rural and organised crime which has involved working with offenders, victims, police and the Home Office.
