Green Criminology

About this book

This groundbreaking text provides students with an overview and assessment of green criminology as well as a call to action. Green Criminology draws attention to the ways in which the political-economic organization of capitalism causes ecological destruction and disorganization. Focusing on real-world issues of green crime and environmental justice, chapters examine ecological withdrawals, ecological additions, toxic towns, wildlife poaching and trafficking, environmental laws, and nongovernmental environmental organizations. The book also presents an unintimidating introduction to research from the physical sciences on issues such as climate change, pollution levels, and the ecological footprint of humans, providing a truly interdisciplinary foundation for green criminological analysis. To help students succeed in the course—and to encourage them to see themselves as future green criminology researchers—the end-of-chapter study guides include: • Questions and Activities for Students that review topics students should be able to conceptualize and address.
• Lessons for Researchers that suggest additional areas of research in the study of green crime.

CHAPTER
C
hapter 
1 
provided 
an 
introduction 
to 
and 
overview 
of 
green 
criminology 
and 
green 
crimes. 
is 
chap-
ter 
assesses 
the 
current 
state 
of 
green 
criminology 
by 
posing 
two 
broad 
questions: 
(1) 
What 
specic 
environ-
mental 
issues 
do 
green 
criminologists 
study, 
and 
(2) 
how 
do 
green 
criminologists 
produce 
knowledge 
about 
green 
crimes? 
To 
address 
the 
rst 
question, 
we 
briefly 
review 
the 
kinds 
of 
research 
green 
criminologists 
undertake 
and 
identify 
key 
themes 
in 
green 
criminology 
scholarship. 
To 
address 
the 
second 
question, 
we 
describe 
criminologists’ 
use 
of 
social 
science 
methods 
to 
identify, 
describe, 
and 
explain 
numerous 
forms 
of 
green 
crime 
and 
discuss 
ve 
different 
approaches 
criminologists 
have 
taken 
to 
the 
study 
of 
green 
and 
environmental 
crimes.

FOR 
GREEN 
CRIMINOLOGISTS
e 
term 
green 
criminology
was 
rst 
introduced 
into 
the 
literature 
in 
1990, 
when 
Michael 
J. 
Lynch 
(1990) 
argued 
that 
criminologists 
should 
study 
green 
crimes 
as 
specic 
examples 
of 
crimes 
against 
justice 
committed 
by 
the 
pow-
erful. 
Of 
particular 
concern, 
Lynch 
argued, 
is 
the 
relation-
ship 
between 
destruction 
of 
the 
natural
