Green Criminology
Green Criminology (German: Green Criminology ) is a branch of research in criminology that analyzes crimes that lead to environmental damage. Green Criminology has established itself in the Anglo-American language area over the past quarter century , but has so far hardly been noticed by specialist science in Germany.
The international community of representatives of "Green Criminology" deals with the biophysical and socio-economic consequences of environmental damage. Important research topics include pollution and its regulation, economic crime and its impact on the environment, health and safety at work, illegal disposal of toxic waste (and related corruption ), and the impact of military operations on the environment.
The Green Criminology is facing difficulties similar to neighboring criminological research fields for Macro crime , State Crime or the crime of the powerful . Their labels collide with the conventional definition of crime . In addition, practical research access is difficult, because the "usual suspects" in this context belong to the economic and political power elites.
