Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in each area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
This Research Agenda identifies emerging priorities and future trends in the field of environmental crime and law, demonstrating how global environmental threats are shaping new academic and legal approaches. It evaluates the current state of scholarship and outlines the evolution of the law, while examining ontological questions about environmental law enforcement.
Chapter authors explore which breaches of environmental law should be criminalized and what types and levels of penalties are optimal for ensuring deterrent effects. Addressing the role of criminal law in environmental protection, they discuss the multi-disciplinarity of the study of environmental crime, shedding light on the criminological and socio-legal contexts in which environmental criminals operate. Leading experts provide insight into key research methodologies and topical themes such as transnational corporate crimes, ecocide, artificial intelligence, biodiversity crime and climate justice.
A Research Agenda for Environmental Crime and the Law is a vital resource for students and academics seeking to understand the state-of-the-art and to push boundaries in criminal law, environmental law, international law and human rights research. Its forward-thinking insights will also greatly benefit policymakers in environmental crime and law enforcement, as well as NGOs and civil society organisations in environmental protection.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'A Research Agenda for Environmental Crime and the Law provides a comprehensive and stimulating addition to the discourse. The editors have managed to bring together a distinguished list of authors, with contributions from within and beyond the traditions of legal discussion. Faure and Lopik provide an excellent contribution on research methodologies relevant to the field, while several chapters also offer an analysis from a green criminological lens, including on non-human or animal rights and ecocide with 'green criminology' heavyweights, South and Di Ronco, exploring issues of environmental restorative justice. Key areas of law are included, such as illegal wildlife taking and biodiversity-related crimes, as well as new areas such as crimes in relation to climate change. A number of chapters also touch on new perspectives for prosecuting environmental crimes by specific actors, such as imposing imprisonment on corporations, and several contribute to current debates, such as the pivotal and timely call for regulation of ecocide. A fascinating addition to the field is the chapter on AI and environmental crime, which explores the value of AI in detecting and predicting environmental crimes, including at sea, together with its potential to enhance corporate compliance.' -- Karen Hulme, University of Essex, UK 'The book makes a valuable contribution in developing the research agenda on the intersection between environmental crime and law. Innovative, cross-disciplinary and with a global reach, the book is essential reading for academics and policy makers working on environmental crime from a legal, socio-legal and criminological perspective.' -- Valsamis Mitsilegas, University of Liverpool, UK 'This forward-thinking book identifies critical research priorities and explores innovative approaches to combat ecological harm worldwide. A must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone passionate about justice and environmental preservation!' -- Montserrat Abad Castelos, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
