Over The Last Two Decades, Green Criminology Has Emerged As A Unique Area Of Study, Bringing Together Criminologists And Sociologists From A Wide Range Of Research Backgrounds And Varying Theoretical Orientations. It Spans The Micro To The Macro--from Individual-level Environmental Crimes And Victimization To Business/corporate Violations And State Transgressions. There Have Been Few Attempts, However, To Explicitly Or Implicitly Integrate Cultural Criminology Into Green Criminology (or Vice Versa).this Book Moves Towards Articulating A Green Cultural Criminological Perspective. Brisman And South Examine Existing Overlapping Research And Offer A Platform To Support Future Excursions By Green Criminologists Into Cultural Criminology's Concern With Media Images And Representations, Consumerism And Consumption, And Resistance. At The Same Time, They Offer An Invitation To Cultural Criminologists To Adopt A Green View Of The Consumption Landscape And The Growth (and Depictions) Of Environmental Harms.green Cultural Criminology Is Aimed At Students, Academics, Criminologists And Sociologists With An Interest In Green Criminology And Cultural Criminology: Two Of The Most Exciting New Areas In Criminology Today--
This book investigates the theoretical and practical integration of cultural criminology with green criminology to better understand the construction of environmental harm and resistance to ecocide. Authors Avi Brisman and Nigel South, both established scholars in the field of green criminology, synthesize existing research to bridge the gap between these two disciplines. They argue that by combining the cultural focus on media representation and consumerism with the environmental focus on corporate and state transgressions, researchers can develop a more comprehensive framework for analyzing environmental crime. The text serves as both a review of current scholarship and a call for future interdisciplinary inquiry.
