Summary

Reflecting the growing academic interest in environmental crimes, harms, and threats, as well as in environmental legislation and regulation, The International Handbook of Green Criminology will offer the most in-depth and comprehensive volume to date. With contributions from leading international green criminologists and scholars in related fields, The International Handbook of Green Criminology will examine a wide range of substantive issues, including air pollution, animal rights, climate change, corporate criminality and impacts on the environment (including humans and wildlife), environmental justice, water pollution, and wildlife trafficking, among others. In addition to offering chapters on the history and development of green criminology, as well as methodological concerns for this area of academic interest, The International Handbook of Green Criminology will demonstrate green criminology's theoretical breadth with chapters discussing or drawing upon conservation criminology, ecoglobal criminology, feminist criminology, and green cultural criminology. With examples of environmental crimes, harms, and threats from Australia, Canada, Eastern Europe, South America, and the United Kingdom, The International Handbook of Green Criminology will serve as a vital resource for scholars and students in criminology, sociology, law and socio-legal studies, as well as related but broader areas, such as environmental science, politics and international relations.
