“…First, these authors are not the only representatives of southern criminology nor is this "movement" a novelty within criminology. Southern criminology is-rather like green criminology (Brisman and South 2020) and consistent with Brisman's (2019) argument about "critical criminologies" rather than one "critical criminology"an accommodating and varied project with multiple contributors and perspectives, which could therefore be described appropriately as southern criminologies (Moosavi 2018; see also Böhm 2018;Carvalho et al 2020;Goyes 2019;Goyes and South 2016;Sollund and Runhovde 2020). Likewise, as described by Goyes (2018Goyes ( , 2019 the proposition that there is a need for a criminology attuned and attentive to the realities of the Global South has a history that originates long before the 2015 baptism of "southern criminology."…”

“…Such a theory is sorely needed. While scholars have explored state-sponsored crimes focusing on atrocities committed against humans, such as the Holocaust and human rights violations (Arendt 2006;Bauman 2000;Christie 2010;Cohen 2001), criminologists have yet to treat crimes committed against animals with the same concern and academic rigor as crimes committed against humans.…”

While scholars of state crime and organized crime have frequently explored the intersection of these fields with green criminology, for the most part they have not brought the two together as organized state criminality as a means to explore environmental destruction. Of the few explorations of organized state green crime that do exist, most do not embrace a non-speciesist perspective. In this article, we develop a non-speciesist theory of organized state green crime to explain the Norwegian state-licensed killing of wolves, a phenomenon that we analyze through the use of the concept ideological inertia. Our main argument is that the underlying cultural, political and economic interests that were prioritized up to the 1970s in Norway continue to have a counteracting effect on the protection of large carnivores, which the country committed to as a signatory to the Bern Convention.

“…Another component of neoextractivist capitalist processes is a history of racist, colonial behavior, embedded in successive government actions but particularly since 2019 (Carvalho, Goyes & Weis, 2021). Bolsonaro's presidency has been imposed on indigenous peoples through symbolic and direct violence.…”

Latin America has a long history of extractive and exploitative territorial activities, dating back to the colonial era. However, in the last decade there has been a steep increase in these activities, and in socio-environmental conflicts, in Latin America. There are indications of the links between the exploitation of natural resources and the violation of human rights, which materializes in the Amazon through the increase of expulsions and evictions of families, assassination attempts, murders, illegal imprisonments, intimidation, and threats. The main targets of these crimes are leaders who head the struggle to defend the rights of collectivities to land and territory, the environment, human rights and their multiple cultural and life expressions. The state of Pará (Eastern Amazonia) has appeared in the last decade as one of the states in Brazil with the highest incidence of cases of land conflicts, assassinations, aggression, defamation, and death threats directed against community leaders and environmental defenders. Thus, this article aims to quantify, characterize and reflect on the environmental defenders and community leaders suffering death threats and under legal protection in the state of Pará, Eastern Amazonia (between 2014 and 2020). It also seeks to identify the main activities and sectors that threaten these groups and the reasons behind the intensification of threats in recent years.
