This chapter describes the intersection of visual and green criminology. It offers a concise outline of the cross-fertilization of these tendencies—green-visual criminology—as well as examples of the theoretical and methodological trends developing from that intersection, and of the ways in which environmental crime and harm have been taken on visually. The chapter discusses the ways in which problems including climate change, wildfires, and species loss have been—and might be—taken up by a visual criminology. This chapter also notes and describes the ways in which the material environment has played a significant role in the construction of distinct and powerful forms of visuality.Less

Are there only crimes against humanity (Derrida, 2002)? Certainly not. And Wildlife Criminology aims to expose the range of crimes against non-humans that are overlooked, ignored, and hidden and argues for an expansion of the criminological gaze to include harms against wildlife. This chapter examines the future of wildlife criminology in relation to each of the chapter topics to demonstrate the wealth of research that is possible, which can challenge the exploitation and suffering that is a fundamental feature of many aspects of our societies. This chapter revisits wildlife as property, food (and other ‘products’), sport, reflectors of violence, and victims of human violence as well as their plight to achieve rights and justice. There is much more research and advocacy to be done to improve the lives of wildlife and the health of the planet, this chapter ends with thoughts on some of what can be done.Less
