Green Criminology and Green Theories of Justice

<div>This book offers an alternative analysis of the various theories and&nbsp;dimensions of green and environmental justice which are rooted in&nbsp;political economy. Much green criminological literature sidelines political&nbsp;economic theoretical insights and therefore with this work the&nbsp;authors enrich the field by vigorously exploring such perspectives. It&nbsp;engages with a number of studies relevant to a political economic&nbsp;approach to justice in order to make two key arguments: that capitalism&nbsp;has produced profound ecological injustices and that the concept of&nbsp;ecological justice (human and ecological rights) itself needs critiquing.&nbsp;<i>Green Criminology and Green Theories of Justice</i> is a timely text which&nbsp;urges the field to revisit its radical roots in social justice while broadening&nbsp;its disciplinary horizons to include a meaningful analysis of political&nbsp;economy and its role in producing and responding to environmental harm&nbsp;and injustice.</div><div><br></div>
