Over the last two decades, "green criminology" has emerged as a unique area of study, bringing together criminologists possessing a wide range of research interests and varying theoretical orientations, spanning the micro to the macro, from work on individual-level environmental crimes to business/corporate violations to state transgressions. There has been little work however attempting to explicitly or implicitly integrate cultural criminology into green criminology.
This book moves towards articulating a theory of green cultural criminology. Brisman and South examine existing overlapping research and offer a platform to support future excursions by green criminologists into cultural criminology s concern with "culture" and offer an invitation to cultural criminologists to adopt a green view of the consumption landscape and the growth of environmental harms.
