Green criminologists from all over the world have contributed to an outstanding piece of work that raises awareness of the importance of reducing environmental harm. In addition to scholars and students, the book should be read closely by policy makers who set priorities in the sustainable development of the world.
Gorazd Meško, Professor of Criminology, Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor, Slovenia.Rather than a specialist branch of what was once described as the ‘infelicitous science’, green criminology seems to gather the most felicitous moments in the history of the discipline: a focus on conducts that are harmful but are not regarded as criminal, the identification of powerful offenders, attention to interactions, including those between us and non-human animals. This book proves that criminology has still a tremendous repository of imagination to draw from.

In the 21st century, environmental harm is an ever-present reality of our globalised world. Over the last 20 years, criminologists, working alongside a range of other disciplines from the social and physical sciences, have made great strides in their understanding of how different institutions in society, and criminal justice systems in particular – respond – or fail to respond – to the harm imposed on ecosystems and their human and non-human components.

In the 21st century, environmental harm is an ever-present reality of our globalised world. Over the last 20 years, criminologists, working alongside a range of other disciplines from the social and physical sciences, have made great strides in their understanding of how different institutions in society, and criminal justice systems in particular – respond – or fail to respond – to the harm imposed on ecosystems and their human and non-human components. Such research has crystallised into the rapidly evolving field of green criminology. This pioneering volume, with contributions from leading experts along with younger scholars, represents the state of the art in criminologists’ pursuit of understanding in the environmental sphere while at the same time challenging academics, lawmakers and policy developers to explore new directions in the study of environmental harm.
