Additional Information:
This module encourages students to critically reflect on the nature and extent of "green" or "environmental" crime and harm, addressing problems of definition, measurement and causation, and relating this to social and philosophical movements and approaches. It addresses the role of the Trans-national Corporation, and the relationship between the developed nations of the global north and the mal-developed nations of the global south in the transfer of environmental footprint and harms from global north to global south. It addresses the role of the intergovernmental agreement, the state and the criminal justice system in prevention and regulation of "green" or "environmental" crime and harm, and considers the nature and effectiveness of legal, judicial and regulatory approaches.
