“…Green criminology's blossoming as a key area of debate, moreover, was supplemented by legal scholarship turning towards environmental harms and the impact of such harms on ecosystems and neighboring communities (Hall 2014). In particular, green criminology has considered the rights of victims and the options for redress under the law (e.g., Hall 2011Hall , 2013Hall , 2014Hall , 2015Hall , 2016Jarrell and Ozym 2012). Indeed, Hall's (2014, p. 97) insight has been significant in not only suggesting how law and legal analysis fit within green criminological inquiry, but in attempting to delineate why and how a legal perspective "is not only a desirable aspect of green criminology but a vital one" for continued (and further) interdisciplinarity.…”

Animals as Something More Than Mere Property: Interweaving Green Criminology and Law

Our article argues that non-human animals deserve to be treated as something more than property to be abused, exploited, or expended. Such an examination lies at the heart of green criminology and law—an intersection of which we consider more thoroughly. Drawing upon our respective and collective works, we endeavor to engage in a discussion that highlights the significance of green criminology for law and suggests how law can provide opportunities to further green criminological inquiry. How the law is acutely relevant for constituting the animal goes hand in glove with how humanness and animality are embedded deeply in the construction of law and society. We contend that, when paired together, green criminology and law have the potential to reconstitute the animal as something more than mere property within law, shed light on the anthropocentric logics at play within the criminal justice system, and promote positive changes to animal cruelty legislation. Scholarship could benefit greatly from moving into new lines of inquiry that emphasize “more-than-human legalities”. Such inquiry has the power to promote the advocacy-oriented scholarship of animal rights and species justice.

“…Green criminological study of the causes of environmental crime and harm is intimately intertwined with the consequences and prevalence of environmental crime and harm, wherein the underlying question is: Who or what is being impacted, degraded or otherwise adversely affected—and to what extent? These are, essentially, questions of victimization (see, e.g., Hall, ; Hall & Farrall, ; Jarrell & Ozymy, ; Sollund, ; South, ; Wyatt, ; Yates, Powell, & Beirne, ). Here, green criminologists have called attention to the impacts on ecosystems and the planet as a whole, but also (more specifically) to the status and plights of nonhuman animals (Ellefsen, Sollund, & Larsen, ; Flynn & Hall, ; Maher, Beirne, & Pierpoint, ; Maher & Sollund, ; Moreto, ), as well as to the disproportionate impacts on certain underserved or disenfranchised populations, such as women, children, minorities, people of lower socio‐economic status (Rodríguez Goyes & South, ; Sollund, ; Wachholz, ; Williams, ) in the present and in the future (Brisman & South, ).…”

The focus of criminology on crimes and harms committed by and against humans has broadened over time. Only since the 1990s, however, has the discipline recognized the significance of crimes and harms concerning the environment and nonhuman animals. A variety of approaches and bodies of work now contribute to what can be described as “green criminology.” This article summarizes research on types of environmental crime and harm, as well as different eco‐philosophical orientations and related justice‐based approaches. It concludes with an example illustrating the ways in which these approaches may overlap.

“…This refers to pollution caused by the political-economic system -the treadmill of production -which accepts harm as 'inevitable' to sustain production and consumption processes (Lynch et al, 2013). This for instance refers to waste and pollution -environmental harm -resulting from activities of the oil and gas industry (Carrington, Donnermeyer, and DeKeseredy, 2014;Jarrell and Ozymy, 2012;Opsal and Connor, 2014;Smandych and Kueneman, 2010). Another topic that is commonly seen as pollution but actually concerns waste are the plastic islands and micro plastics in our oceans (Eriksen et al, 2013).…”

This paper focuses on the waste-crime nexus. We discuss which implications different criminological approaches to the waste-crime nexus and their respective etiological explanations and views on financial incentives hold for crime control and harm prevention. After all, the criminogenic opportunities of waste as a product and a sector are utilized by corporations as well as criminal organizations. This makes waste crime a topic of research for corporate crime and organized crime scholars. Moreover, waste crime is also a topic of green criminological research. For each of these three perspectives, we discuss what consequences the theories have for controlling and preventing waste crime and whether the contemporary regulation and enforcement answers to these requirements. Besides existing criminological studies on waste crime, this paper builds on the finds of our own studies on the Dutch waste sector and the Belgian trade in e-waste. We also pay attention to how these three criminological perspectives are reflected in reports and recommendations on waste crime by NGOs and international governmental organizations. For each of the three perspectives, we discuss a couple of prominent cases of waste crime that reflect the framing of the nature and the causes of the theoretical perspectives.
