| Description: |
| Crimes against the environment take many forms, but it is a complex area of criminology. Presented by Dr Steven Taylor, explores green crime and includes interviews with experts Dr. Gary Potter and Dr. Matt Follett. Introduces transgressive criminology and the concept of harm, which can be applied to problems like rainforest destruction and global warming. Looks at how Marxism and Beck's concept of risk can be applied to environmental crimes. Investigates the paradox of economic growth and consumption versus the need to curb global warming and deforestation. |
