First published in 1996. One of the primary goals of this series
has been to explore new areas of criminology and criminal justice,
topics that constitute the frontiers of the field. This work,
edited by Sally Edwards, Terry Edwards and Charles Fields
exemplifies that purpose in its coverage of environmental crime.
While corporate and political crime developed slowly into
mainstream criminology over the last half century, environmental
crime, as an area of emphasis is still in its infancy. It is
unusual to have many varied and informative perspectives early in a
subject's development. This volume, however, demonstrates that many
people are already examining environmental crime perhaps as an
extension of both the greater environmental movement and the
broadening of the popular parameters of crime.
