<p>`Well-known criminologists Spapens (Tilburg Univ., Netherlands), White (Univ. of Tasmania, Australia), and Huisman (VU Univ., Amsterdam) have put together a book of original contributions in the rapidly expanding field of green criminology. …make no mistake: this is an important book. Many of the chapters stake out new conceptual ground with new empirical evidence of the extent, seriousness, and frequency of a variety of environmental crimes. Perhaps a sign that green criminology has come of age after roughly two decades, the book at several points engages directly with mainstream concerns about deterrence and law enforcement.’ <i>Choice </i>February 2017, Summing Up: <b>Highly recommended</b>. All levels/libraries.</p><p>'This book provides novel insights for the understanding of crimes against the environment, and offers a methodological blueprint for future studies. It is essential reading for anyone interested in this area of research, students, academics, practitioners and campaigners alike.’ Rebecca W.Y. Wong, City University of Hong Kong ’Environmental crimes and harms are likely to become increasingly pressing issues in the future. Awareness of them and their long-term consequences, and how to tackle or reduce them effectively, will consequently be on the agenda of criminologists, law enforcers, and policy makers. This book is a valuable contribution to the fast growing field of green criminology.’ Tim Boekhout van Solinge, Utrecht University, The Netherlands</p><p>'This book provides novel insights for the understanding of crimes against the environment, and offers a methodological blueprint for future studies.
