Trade Review‘Advanced Introduction to Applied Green Criminology
is a valuable synthesis of theoretical and philosophical underpinnings with practical approaches and applications. Distinguished Professor Rob White has expertly combined decades of research into a useful text that collates the diverse attempts to prevent and disrupt environmental crime. Furthermore, he offers insights to both academics and practitioners into other elements to consider when tackling environmental crimes and harms. A must read for anyone working in the field of the environment.’ -- Tanya Wyatt, Northumbria University, UK
‘Reducing environmental harms is a universal human interest. Again, White offers wayfinding for those of us searching for deeper understanding of why and how green criminology can help smooth the science-to-action interface. He paints a vivid picture of the diversity of environmental harms and the tools criminology offers for positive and just change.’ -- Meredith L. Gore, University of Maryland, College Park, US
