Few would dispute the power of climate change to lead to profoundly
destructive weather events. At the same time, the possibility of
climate change as a consequence-or even a cause-of criminal events
is far less recognized. As the earth grows warmer, issues regarding
land use, water rights, bio-security, and food production and
distribution will continue to have far-reaching impact, and produce
more opportunity for offenses by individuals and groups as well as
political and corporate entities. In Climate Change from a
Criminological Perspective, a panel of pioneering green
criminologists investigates an increasingly complex chain of
ecological causes and effects. Illegal acts are analyzed as they
contribute to environmental decline (e.g., wildlife poaching) or
result from ecological distress (e.g., survival-related theft).
Regulatory and other interventions are critiqued, concepts of
environmental harm refined, and new research methodologies called
for. And while individual events described are mainly local, the
contributors keep the global picture, and substantial questions
about human rights and social relationships, firmly in mind. Topics
featured include: Global warming as corporate crime. Climate change
and the courts: U.S. and global views. Climate change, natural
disasters, and gender inequality. The roles and responsibilities of
environmental enforcement networks. A sociocultural perspective on
climate change denial. PLUS: instructive in-depth chapters on
criminological aspects of Hurricane Katrina and the Japanese
nuclear disaster. A volume of considerable timeliness and vision,
Climate Change from a Criminological Perspective will be read and
discussed, and will inspire action, by researchers in criminology,
criminal justice, environmental studies, and related disciplines,
as well as policymakers.
