“…The term GC was first coined by Lynch (1990) as he envisioned that radical criminology could benefit from an association with environmental movements. There are different semantics related to GC, including ''green perspectives'' (South 1998) among numerous others (Ellefsen et al 2012;Gibbs et al 2010;Herbig and Joubert 2006;Walters 2010;White 2009White , 2010White , 2011. Despite these different terminological usages, green criminologists share a common spirit that challenges conventional perceptions in criminology about how to conceptualise the essence, extent, victim and offender of environmental harm and crime.…”

The overriding aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework that can be used to systematically examine the victimisation from environmental or green crime. By analysing the conceptual and pragmatic compatibilities between two distinctive academic fields of green criminology and human security (HS) and by discussing the impacts of timber trafficking on HS, it is argued that it would be logical, achievable and fruitful to employ a broad HS perspective to advance the understanding of the mechanism of green victimisation with a focus on human victims.

“…For the transit and export of second-hand vehicles, which play an important role in e-waste transports, Antwerp is the most important port in Europe. Given its inland location, the port has multiple connections to Europe's hinterland and it is therefore a typical transit hub 21 . By basing this research within this local setting, I aimed to avoid too relativistic findings about transnational environmental flows [60].…”

“…It remains the first for second-hand vehicles. 21 Of all the freight, 37% is loaded back onto sea-going vessels and 35% goes to neighbouring countries by inland shipping and rail. Only 12% is destined for companies located in the port and 16% is for Belgian distribution.…”

“…As a consequence of more stringent waste regulations, waste management prices have risen in the industrialised countries, which caused waste to become a global market commodity [90,91]. Exporting the waste is a way to externalize the harm and create a distance between producers and consumers, on the one hand, and those affected by the dumping or recycling of the products on the other hand [21].…”

Eco-global, green and environmental issues are increasingly part of the criminological agenda [3,[17][18][19][20][21], but despite this increased interest in transnational environmental crime, analyses often lack methodological strength. Because empirical studies provide input for theoretical progress, this article responds to the call for more empirical knowledge about transnational environmental crime [17,22,23] by focusing on the characteristics of one particular phenomenon: the illegal transports of electronic waste (e-waste).…”

Is it all going to waste? Illegal transports of e-waste in a European trade hub

This article responds to the call for more empirical knowledge about transnational environmental crime. It does so by analysing the case of illegal transports of electronic waste (e-waste) in a European trade hub. Given the complexity and global nature of transnational environmental crime, it is difficult to determine which actors are involved. In this regard, a local research setting allows the actors involved in illegal transports of e-waste to be identified. This research tries to determine whether these actors and their roles can be considered legal or illegal and illustrates the legal-illegal interfaces in e-waste flows. Moreover, this case study analyses the push, pull and facilitating factors and therefore looks at what motivations and opportunities shape the flows of e-waste in locations of origin, transit and destination. The results show that the social organisation and emergence of transnational environmental crime is on a thin line between legal and illegal which needs to be contextualised within the global reality of the locations of origin, transit and destination.
