Environmental Crime and Social Conflict

Contemporary and Emerging Issues

Herausgeber: Brisman, Avi; White, Rob; South, Nigel

Beschreibung

This collection of original essays stimulates 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. The chapters are largely informed by green criminology perspectives and provide a systematic and comprehensive introduction to a topic that to date has received little attention within criminology.
