Beskrivning
This impressive collection of original essays explores the relationship between social conflict and the environment - a topic that has received little attention within criminology. The chapters provide a systematic and comprehensive introduction and overview of conflict situations stemming from human exploitation of environments, as well as the impact of social conflicts on the wellbeing and health of specific species and ecosystems. Largely informed by green criminology perspectives, the chapters in the book are intended to stimulate new understandings of the relationships between humans and nature through critical evaluation of environmental destruction and degradation associated with social conflicts occurring around the world. With a goal of creating a typology of environment-social conflict relationships useful for green criminological research, this study is essential reading for scholars and academics in criminology, as well as those interested in crime, law and justice.

Recensioner i media

"This collection of essays is a valuable resource for scholars seeking orientation in the emerging field of green criminology and its various sub-fields. Environmental Crime and Social Conflict encourages much-needed research applying established criminological theory with existing research traditionally dominated by conservationists, political scientists, and human rights organizations." - Sara McFann, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, May 2016
