Description
Book SynopsisThis revealing and compelling title analyzes the illegal trade in endangered species from a criminological viewpoint and presents specific crime reduction techniques that could help save thousands of species from extinction.
Trade Review[C]ontains a great deal of background information about wildlife trafficking, the market reduction approach and situational crime prevention—making it an introductory read suitable for a broad audience. . . . As a reader who is well versed in the crime prevention and wildlife trafficking literature, I believe the book is well organized and gives a satisfactory overview. * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *
