Through the contributions of experts from both the social and
ecological sciences, the book deals with theoretical and
practical considerations that impact on the effectiveness of
contemporary environmental criminal justice. It discusses the
social construction of green crimes and the varied ways in which
poaching and other conservation crimes are perceived, operate and
are ideologically driven, as well as practical issues in
environmental criminal justice. With contributions based in
varied ideological perspectives and drawn from a range
of academic disciplines, this volume provides a platform for
scholars to debate new ideas about environmental law
enforcement, policy, and crime prevention, detection and
punishment.
