Green criminologists from all over the world have contributed to an outstanding piece of work that raises awareness of the importance of reducing environmental harm. In addition to scholars and students, the book should be read closely by policy makers who set priorities in the sustainable development of the world.

Rather than a specialist branch of what was once described as the infelicitous science, green criminology seems to gather the most felicitous moments in the history of the discipline: a focus on conducts that are harmful but are not regarded as criminal, the identification of powerful offenders, attention to interactions, including those between us and non-human animals. This book proves that criminology has still a tremendous repository of imagination to draw from.
