درباره این کتاب:

The field of ‘green criminology’ has grown remarkably in recent years and will no doubt continue to expand rapidly as environmental conditions deteriorate. Climate change, in particular, is set to fundamentally transform the present world. The impact of global warming is already being felt, and rises in the Earth’s temperature will continue to generate increasingly profound shifts in weather conditions and climatic events. The devastation wrought by Superstorm Sandy along the eastern seaboard of the United States in October 2012 was not simply a once-in- a-generation phenomenon; it marks part of the beginning of regular chaotic events, the predicted result of anthropogenic contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, the demise of plant and animal species, both through legal and illegal means, the growth in human population, and the shrinking of natural resources (such as drinking water) and non-renewable resources (such as oil and gas), all add up to enormous pressures on the environment generally. With biodiversity under threat, global resilience to the impacts of climate change is being reduced. Yet the commodification of nature ensures that economic value is, ironically, best realised in conditions of advancing scarcity. Environmental degradation and destruction is, for some, profitable. Simultaneously, the global pursuit of the Western consumer lifestyle daily adds to the pollution of air, water and land. Factories belch out smoke, as do cars, buses and trucks designed to transport people and goods. Illegal transfer of electronic waste is fast becoming one of the biggest environmental crimes, while vast areas of the planet continue to suffer deforestation in the global scramble for new mega-mines, for coal-seam gas, for GMO crops and for pastures for cattle and sheep. Changing land uses are creating new toxic towns; new forms of recycling of ships and electronic products are producing contaminated communities. And the planet continues to heat up.
