W587cThis is an exciting new text on the rapidly expanding subject of environmental criminology and ecological justice. It provides a systematic account and analysis of the key concerns of green criminology, written by one of the leading authorities in the field. The book draws upon the disciplines of environmental studies, environmental sociology and environmental management as well as criminology and socio-legal studies, and draws upon a wide range of examples of crimes against the environment - ranging from toxic waste, logging, wildlife smuggling, bio-piracy, the use and transport of ozone depleting substances through to illegal logging and fishing, water pollution and animal abuse. Crimes against Nature is divided into three parts. Part 1 sets out theoretical approaches and perspectives on the subject Part 2 explores the (national and international) dimensions of environmental crime and the explanations for it, and Part 3 deals with the range of responses to environmental crime - environmental law enforcement, regulation, environmental crime prevention and the role of global institutions and movements.
