The Anthropocene signals a new age in Earth's history, a human age,
where we are revealed as a powerful force shaping planetary
systems. What might criminology be in the Anthropocene? What does
the Anthropocene suggest for future theory and practice of
criminology? This book seeks to contribute to this research agenda
by examining, contrasting and interrogating different vantage
points, aspects and thinking within criminology. Bringing together
a range of multidisciplinary chapters at the cutting edge of
thinking and environmental rethinking in criminology, this book
explores a mix of key intractable problems of the Anthropocene,
including climate change and overexploitation of natural resources
that cause environmental insecurities; crime and corruption;
related human insecurity and fortressed spaces; and the rise of new
risks and social harms. Of interest to scholars in the fields of
criminology, sociology and environmental studies, this book
provides readers with a basis for analysing the challenges of, and
possible approaches to, the Anthropocene at all levels (local,
national, regional and international) and discusses the future(s)
of criminology for improving social policies and practices.
