Free (Kindle UK) Handbook of Green Criminology [Academic Environmental Law Studies]

[ATDrake]

Routledge International Handbook of Green Criminology edited by Nigel South & Avi Brisman is part of the Routledge International Handbooks series, this installment presenting academic studies dealing with environmental protection law & related issues such as pollution and wildlife trafficking, free courtesy of publisher Taylor & Francis' Routledge imprint.

Currently free @ Amazon UK. This is very likely a glitch freebie and over the past couple of years, previous Routledge glitch freebies have tended not cross the pond in either direction, but if you like, here's some linkage to the main store for your price-drop check convenience.

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because quasi-academic non-fiction freebies are my favourite kind (even better when they're deliberate, but you take what you can get).

And also, while this is probably rather drier and less accessible and more esoteric than the other one that popped up, I'm afraid I'm just not feeling up to featuring stuff involving plucky young soldiers getting having unpleasant things happen to them in unexpected situations they weren't really prepared for today, sorry.

So environmental crime, which is another thing we have an unfortunate amount of in Canada, but hopefully ultimately more solvable, it is.

Enjoy!

Description
Academic and general interest in environmental crimes, harms, and threats, as well as in environmental legislation and regulation, has grown sharply in recent years. The Routledge International Handbook of Green Criminology is the most in-depth and comprehensive volume on these issues to date.

With contributions from leading international green criminologists and scholars in related fields, the Handbook examines a wide range of substantive issues, including:

• climate change
• corporate criminality and impacts on the environment
• environmental justice
• media representations
• pollution (e.g. air, water)
• questions of responsibility and risk
• wildlife trafficking

The chapters explore green criminology in depth, its theory, history and development, as well as methodological concerns for this area of academic interest.

With examples of environmental crimes, harms, and threats from Africa, Asia, Australia, Eastern Europe, South America, the United Kingdom, and the United States, this book will serve as a vital resource for international scholars and students in criminology, sociology, law and socio-legal studies, as well as environmental science, environmental studies, politics and international relations.
