Environmental crimes are primarily driven by financial motives. The
combined financial value of illicit trade in protected wildlife,
illegal logging and waste trafficking is estimated to come directly
after counterfeiting, the narcotic drugs trade and illegal
gambling. Logically, the proceeds of these crimes must also be
laundered. Goods, however, are not the only money maker for
environmental criminals. Corporations may also try to 'save' costs
by not complying with environmental regulations and thus commit
crimes of omission rather than commission. From an enforcement and
compliance perspective focusing on the proceeds of crime may
therefore be an effective strategy. This book brings together
different perspectives on the financial aspects of environmental
crime and harm from a green criminological viewpoint. It addresses
the role of economic systems, the value of environmental
performance for corporations, money laundering in the context of
environmental crime, financial investigation and questions of
regulation and penalties. Discussing these topics from the view of
green criminology, sociology and governance, this book will be of
great interest to all those concerned about the financial
dimensions of crime and the environment.
The study of white-collar crime remains a central concern for
criminologists around the world and research concentrates on its
nature, prevalence, causes and responses. However, most books on
white-collar crime tend to focus on Anglo-American examples, which
is surprising given the amount of rich data and research taking
place in mainland Europe. This new handbook seeks to reset the
balance and, for the first time, presents an overview of
state-of-the-art research on white-collar crime in Europe. Adding
to the existing Anglo-American body of knowledge, the Handbook will
discuss specific European topics and typical European features of
white-collar crime. The Routledge Handbook of White-Collar and
Corporate Crime in Europe consists of more than thirty chapters on
topics ranging from the Icelandic Banking Crisis, to the origins of
the study of white collar crime, to contemporary topics, such as
white-collar crime in countries post-transition from communist
regimes; the illegal e-waste trade and white-collar crime in
professional football. Furthermore, the book contains extensive
case study analyses of landmark European cases of white-collar
crime. The editors have gathered together the leading voices in the
field and a final section offers commentaries on white-collar crime
in Europe from eminent criminologists David Friedrichs and Hazel
Croall. This Handbook will thus serve as a work of reference for
all scholars and students engaged in the study of corporate and
white-collar crime and will also set out directions for new
research in the future.
From corporate corruption and the facilitation of money laundering,
to food fraud and labour exploitation, European citizens continue
to be confronted by serious corporate and white-collar crimes.
Presenting an original series of provocative essays, this book
offers a European framing of white-collar crime. Experts from
different countries foreground what is unique, innovative or
different about white-collar and corporate crimes that are so
strongly connected to Europe, including the tensions that exist
within and between the nation-states of Europe, and within the
institutions of the European region. This European voice provides
an original contribution to discourses surrounding a form of crime
which is underrepresented in current criminological literature.
Environmental crime is one of the most profitable and fastest
growing areas of international criminal activity. The increasing
cross-border scope of environmental crimes and harms is one of the
reasons why governments and the enforcement community have trouble
in finding the proper responses. Law enforcement cooperation
between western industrialized states is often time consuming and
problematic, and the problems increase exponentially when
environmental criminals take advantage of situations where
government and law enforcement are weak. This book provides an
overview of the developments and problems in the field of
transnational environmental crimes and harms, addressing these
issues from perspectives such as enforcement, deterrence,
compliance and emission trading schemes. Divided into four parts,
the authors consider global issues in green criminology, responses
to transnational environmental crimes and harms, alternative
methods to combat environmental crime, and specific types of crimes
and criminological research. Discussing these topics from the view
of green criminology, sociology and governance, this book will be
of great interest to all those concerned about the transnational
dimensions of crime and the environment.
