The resource boom's underbelly: Criminological impacts of mining development (2011, background): “Identified long-term, cumulative and serious social and human impacts (see e.g. Carrington et al., 2010; Haslam McKenzie, 2010; Lockie et al., 2009; Petkova et al., 2009; Rolfe et al., 2007) appear to receive inadequate consideration when planning for resource projects.”
Boomtowns, Resource Dependence and Socio-economic Well-being (2011, background): “…relative socio-economic disadvantage and upheaval in resource boomtowns (e.g. Kohrs 1974; Gold 1974; Gilmore & Duff 1975; Little 1977; Freudenburg 1984; Pick et al. 2008; Langton 2010), others suggest this is not necessarily the case (Wilkinson et al. 1982; Smith et al. 2001; Rolfe et al. 2007).”
Local economic impacts of an unconventional energy boom: the coal seam gas industry in Australia† (2015, background): “Several studies have considered this issue, whereby local residents are potentially excluded from income benefits due to the high number of nonresident workers who take their income back to their normal place of residence (Rolfe et al. 2007; Measham et al. 2013).”
