CRIM 310 Green Criminology

Green criminology moves beyond an anthropocentric view of crime to include how and why certain forms of environmental harm are criminalized while other harms are encouraged by the state. It examines the various factors that drive these harms, such as capitalism, consumerism, and productivity, and considers different ways we might address these problems, including Indigenous perspectives which posit non-speciesist understandings for ecological wellbeing.
