The essays selected for this volume illustrate the growing interest in and importance of crime that is both environmental
and transnational in nature. The topics covered range from pollution and waste to biodiversity and wildlife crimes, and
from the violation of human rights associated with the exploitation of natural resources through to the criminogenic
implications of climate change. The collection provides insight into the nature and dynamics of this type of crime and
examines in detail who is harmed and what can be done about it. Differential victimisation and contemporary
developments in environmental law enforcement are also considered. Collectively, these essays lay the foundations for a
criminology that is forward looking, global in its purview, and that deals with the key environmental issues of the present
age.
