Rob White is Distinguished Professor of Criminology at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
With this splendid collection of essays, Rob White’s important role
in the development of green, eco-global criminology is confirmed.
This book is a theoretically solid collection and is invaluable for
any student and scholar who wants to engage in the growing field of
green criminology. White pedagogically takes us through the
theories that have been developed to form the basis for how to
conceptualise environmental harms and crimes, to which he has
greatly contributed. The reader learns about sources of knowledge
and how they are valued, as well as about responses to
environmental harms through different conceptual frameworks, thus
not leaving us empty handed when it comes to addressing such harms.
This book is bound to inspire further research and theorizing
within green criminology and underlines why this is such an urgent
field of inquiry. Ragnhild Sollund, University of OsloRob White,
one of the pioneers of the burgeoning field of green criminology,
has over the years made significant theoretical and empirical
contributions to this critical area of study. Theorising Green
Criminology assembles many of Rob’s most important writings in one
volume, allowing us to appreciate the depth and breadth of his
contributions to the discipline and build on the solid foundation
of critical thought he has produced to analyze environmental harms
and advocate for interventions to prevent such harms.Ron Kramer,
Western Michigan UniversityRob White has been a profound,
passionate and prolific writer on a range of topics that become
more important every day. This book brings together some of his key
contributions to the fields of green criminology and environmental
sociology, and provides an essential guide to what the author
describes as the ‘why’s, who’s and how’s of environmental harms’.
Nigel South, University of EssexThis book brings together some
valuable theoretical insights into green criminology drawn from the
research of the most prolific and influential scholar in the field.
It consists of an outstanding selection of some of the main
contributions that White has elaborated over the last decade, and
it provides the relevant theoretical and conceptual tools needed
for a deeper understanding of environmental crimes and harms and
for the formulation of possible responses to them. As well as
creating a theoretical framework for those who intend to approach
environmental crimes and harms from an eco-global criminological
perspective, the book will undoubtedly stimulate and provoke
fruitful dialogues among students, scholars and researchers,
enabling them to better understand the complex dynamics involved,
and to conceptualize and implement appropriate responses in order
to deal effectively with one of the most challenging theoretical,
epistemological and ethical problems of our time.Lorenzo Natali,
University of Milano-BicoccaRob White accomplishes a monumental
achievement of green criminology. These selected essays are full of
critical suggestions and encouragements for theory and practice.
Green criminology is approaching a 'tipping point' and the new
world for the next generation opens with this excellent
book.Noriyoshi Takemura, Toin University of YokohamaThis book is a
powerful tool to support students and researchers conceptualizing
green criminology. Each chapter provides a strong theoretical base
while engaging in contemporary examples of environmental harm.
Anyone interested in conservation and green criminology needs to
read this book.Rebecca W.Y. Wong, City University of Hong Kong
