"Poaching is a crime with global and historical repercussions. This important and timely book, written by some of the most influential scholars in the field, fills a critical void in the criminology and crime prevention literature."D. Kim Rossmo, Department of Criminal Justice, Texas State University"Andrew Lemieux’s Situational Crime Prevention of Poaching is a marvellous book. Its internationally respected contributors go far beyond lamenting the impact of poaching on our wildlife. They show with rigorous research why this is happening, and as important, they show how practical steps can be taken to stop it. Anyone – wildlife manager, conservation official, policy maker, researcher, student, or informed citizen – concerned with the protection of wildlife must read this book."John E. Eck, Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati"Most crime prevention literature concerns itself with attacks on people and property in the Western world. Meanwhile, a quarter of all mammalian species are now at risk of extinction in the wild by dint of human agency. Our children and grandchildren seem destined to inhabit a world of diminished biodiversity unless more attention is directed towards crimes contributing towards that bleak prospect. This book marries the necessary focus on wildlife crime with a set of practical and achievable tactics for its reduction."Ken Pease, University College London
