Book Review: Green Criminology

Environmental crime imposes huge human, social, ecological and monetary costs, but there is a palpable political aversion to engage with this problem, a reluctance which is mirrored in criminological scholarship. While the term ‘green criminology’ was first used in 1990 (M. Lynch, ‘The Greening of Criminology: A Perspective on the 1990s’, reproduced in Green Criminology, pp. 165 et seq.), the concept remains peripheral to criminological study. Green criminologists argue that as environmental abuse generates problems of criminological concern (like conflict, corruption, and law-breaking) it should be accepted as a valid part of contemporary criminological enquiry.
