Description
This book uses empirical and theoretical arguments to discuss the multi-dimensional character of eco-global crime. It provides new ideas and insights which are relevant on a global scale and discusses eco-global crime from a justice perspective. The persistence of animal abuse and speciesism are also examined together with policies aimed at controlling the natural world and plant species. This study of the exploitation of nature and other species is invaluable for students and scholars globally, working within or connected to the field of green and eco-global criminology.
