“This authoritative and accessible monograph explores the political economy of space, a crucial but overlooked aspect of the capitalist world-system that includes satellites, waste, mining, and criminal justice. Space Criminology sets out a…comprehensive blueprint for bringing the final frontier into the discipline’s fold…innovative, insightful, and imaginative.”—Rafe McGregor, Edge Hill University, UK“This is a brilliant book…that offers important insights into the risks and harms that humanity may cause - and needs to navigate - in the race to explore space and extract resources from our cosmic neighbours.” —Michelle Maloney, National Convenor of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance and co-drafter of the Declaration on the Rights of the Moon“In Space Criminology…we are treated to and an out-of-this world encounter with some of the most fascinating issues of extra-terrestrial crime and harm. Their book is a celestial treat of cosmic proportions!”—Avi Brisman, Eastern Kentucky University, USAAs humans expand the frequency and scale of interactions off-planet, Space Criminology ponders the nature of crime, harm and transgression in outer space and possible responses to these. The first book of its kind, it discusses the dynamics of space crime, from those involving powerful elites through to those associated with the mundane interactions of people living and working in space. It is essential reading for anyone interested in extra-terrestrial crime, space law, and criminal justice. Jack Lampkin lectures in criminology at York St John University in the United Kingdom and is a leading figure in the development of space criminology.Rob White is an emeritus distinguished professor of criminology at the University of Tasmania, Australia and considereda pioneer of green criminology.
