For centuries, criminologists have looked for scientific ways to
study, understand, and ultimately prevent crime. In this volume, a
unique offense, poaching, is explored in various contexts to
determine what opportunity structures favor this crime and how
situational crime prevention may reduce its prevalence. The data
sources used range from publically available secondary data about
animal populations, to interviews with hunters, to actual law
enforcement data collected inside protected areas. Various methods
are utilized to look for patterns in poaching behaviour regarding
where poachers strike, which species they target and their modus
operandi. Collectively, the volume shows that principles of
criminal opportunity theory and situational crime prevention are
useful for studying and preventing poaching in a variety of
contexts. The methods employed by each chapter are easily
replicated and meant to stimulate empirical poaching research where
data is available. While the theoretical grounding of this volume
is drawn from criminology, it is written for a broad audience of
academics, practitioners and those interested in wildlife
conservation.
