Issues in Green Criminology: confronting harms against
environments, humanity and other animals aims to provide, if not a
manifesto, then at least a significant resource for thinking about
green criminology, a rapidly developing field. It offers a set of
specially written introductions and a variety of current and new
directions, wide-ranging in scope and international in terms of
coverage and contributors. It provides focused discussions of
current and cutting edge issues that will influence the emergence
of a coherent perspective on green issues. The contributors are
drawn from the leading thinkers in the field. The twelve chapters
of the book explore the myriad ways in which governments,
transnational corporations, military apparatuses and ordinary
people going about their everyday lives routinely harm
environments, other animals and humanity. The book will be
essential reading not only for students taking courses in colleges
and universities but also for activists in the environmental and
animal rights movements. Its concern is with an ever-expanding
agenda the whys, the hows and the whens of the generation and
control of the many aspects of harm to environments, ecological
systems and all species of animals, including humans. These harms
include, but are not limited to, exploitation, modes of
discrimination and disempowerment, degradation, abuse, exclusion,
pain, injury, loss and suffering. Straddling and intersecting these
many forms of harm are key concepts for a green criminology such as
gender inequalities, racism, dominionism and speciesism, classism,
the north/south divide, the accountability of science, and the
ethics of global capitalist expansion. Green criminology has the
potential to provide not only a different way of examining and
making sense of various forms of crime and control responses (some
well known, others less so) but can also make explicable much wider
connections that are not generally well understood. As all
societies face up to the need to confront harms against
environments, other animals and humanity, criminology will have a
major role to play. This book will be an essential part of this
process.
