Title
Green Criminology: Crime, Justice, and the Environment - Paperback
by Michael J. Lynch (Author), Michael a. Long (Author), Paul B. Stretesky (Author)
This groundbreaking text provides students with an overview and assessment of green criminology as well as a call to action. Green Criminology draws attention to the ways in which the political-economic organization of capitalism causes ecological destruction and disorganization. Focusing on real-world issues of green crime and environmental justice, chapters examine ecological withdrawals, ecological additions, toxic towns, wildlife poaching and trafficking, environmental laws, and nongovernmental environmental organizations. The book also presents an unintimidating introduction to research from the physical sciences on issues such as climate change, pollution levels, and the ecological footprint of humans, providing a truly interdisciplinary foundation for green criminological analysis.
To help students succeed in the course--and to encourage them to see themselves as future green criminology researchers--the end-of-chapter study guides include: - Questions and Activities for Students that review topics students should be able to conceptualize and address.- Lessons for Researchers that suggest additional areas of research in the study of green crime.

A masterfully articulated political-economic approach to green criminology. This book should be required reading for all students of criminology and environmental social science.--Andrew Jorgenson, Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies, Boston College
"Green Criminology explains the economic processes and science we need to understand as the world faces ecological crisis. It appeals for justice and for us all to try to make a difference. This outstanding book should help to change criminology."--Nigel South, Professor of Sociology, University of Essex "This volume by pioneers in green criminology cements their central role in the field. Their ecologically grounded political-economic perspective allows them to provide powerful analyses of a wide range of crimes against the environment waged by those in positions of power, crimes that warrant exposure and prosecution."--Riley E. Dunlap, Regents Professor of Sociology, Oklahoma State UniversityAuthor Biography
