Exploring Green Criminology: Toward a Green Criminological Revolution: Green Criminology

Autor Michael J. Lynch, Paul B. Stretesky
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mai 2014
Few criminologists have drawn attention to the fact that widespread and significant forms of harm such as green or environmental crimes are neglected by criminology. Others have suggested that green crimes present the most important challenge to criminology as a discipline. This book argues that criminology needs to take green harms more seriously and to be revolutionized so that it forms part of the solution to the large environmental problems currently faced across the world. It asks how criminology should be redesigned to consider green/environmental harm as a key area of study in an era where destruction of the earth and the world’s ecosystem is a major concern and examines why this has remained unaccomplished so far. The chapters in this book apply an environmental frame of reference underlying a green approach to issues which can be addressed from within criminology and which can encourage criminologists and environmentalists to respond and react differently to environmental crime.

Recenzii

’In this book two pioneers of Green Criminology show how the perspective can enrich traditional criminology and make it more relevant to a world in danger. This is an impressive and important work, recommended to anyone with an interest in green issues and the future of criminology or the planet.’ Nigel South, University of Essex, UK ’Lynch and Stretesky’s call for a revolution in criminology that would redirect the field away from its historic attention to personal crimes and toward the far graver threats posed by blameworthy environmental wrongdoing is a must read for any criminologist who hopes to remain relevant to the future of our planet.’ Raymond J. Michalowski, Northern Arizona University, USA ’In Exploring Green Criminology, Lynch and Stretesky lay out an ambitious framework and research agenda for the future of green criminology. In this groundbreaking work, they demonstrate how traditional criminology must adapt, if it is to remain relevant in an era of human history that is replete with environmental crime.’ Michael A. Long, Oklahoma State University, USA 'The stated step forward of this book is that it explores the parameters of green criminology, its theory and practice, and why environmental issues ought to become more central to the study of crime, law, and justice. ... The authors do very well in exposing corporate environmental pollution and weaving their admirable command of the literature into their arguments about the treadmill of crime ... Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty/professionals/practitioners.' CHOICE

Descriere

Widespread and significant forms of harm such as green or environmental harm have generally been overlooked by criminologists. This book argues that green harm needs to become a key area of study within the discipline of criminology and considers how the discipline can be redesigned. The authors propose an environmental frame of reference which can be addressed from within criminology and which enables criminologists and environmentalists to respond and react differently to environmental crime.
