This book brings together original cutting edge work that deals
with global environmental harm from a wide variety of geographical
and critical perspectives. The topics covered in the book are
global, regional and local in nature, although in each case there
are clear transnational or global dimensions.
The book explores topics that provide theoretical,
methodological and substantive insights into the nature and
dynamics of environmental harm, and the transference of this harm
across regions, continents and globally. Specific topics include
the criminal nature of global warming, an ethnographic study of
pollution and consciousness of environmental harm, environmental
destruction associated with huge industrial developments, chaos
theory and environmental social justice, de-forestation as a global
phenomenon, illegal trade in endangered species, and transference
of toxicity.
The collection as a whole reinforces the importance of
eco-global criminology as a dynamic paradigm for theory and action
on environmental issues in the 21st century. The criminological
perspectives presented herein are important both in discerning the
nature and complexities of global environmental harms and,
ultimately, in forging responses to them.
