*** Choice Outstanding Academic Titles 2024 winner ***

This first volume in green criminology devoted to gender investigates gendered patterns to offending, victimisation and environmental harms. It includes feminist and intersectional analysis, and original case studies from the Global North and Global South. The book also examines actions that have been taken in response to gendered crimes and harms, together with insights on the gendered nature of resistance.

The collection advances debate on green crimes, environmental harm and climate change, and will inspire students and researchers to foreground gender in debates about reducing and transforming the challenges affecting our planet’s future.

“Offering original case studies from across the globe, this book offers a much-needed intersectional analysis of green criminology. It will appeal to those interested in combating gendered, racial and environmental injustices.” Stacy Banwell, University of Greenwich

“An innovative and timely collection of papers drawing on a wide range of disciplines and international research that demonstrates the importance of a gendered approach to green criminology.” Mary Mellor, Northumbria University

"This is the book we’ve been waiting for! The reach of this collection is extraordinary, from climate crises to illegal wildlife trade, through queer green criminology and gender-based violence. For the first time, in one place, we see how feminist analysis reframes our understanding of the structural drivers of green crime. An extraordinary achievement." Joni Seager, Bentley University
