This book offers an alternative analysis of the various theories anddimensions of green and environmental justice which are rooted inpolitical economy. Much green criminological literature sidelines politicaleconomic theoretical insights and therefore with this work theauthors enrich the field by vigorously exploring such perspectives. Itengages with a number of studies relevant to a political economicapproach to justice in order to make two key arguments: that capitalismhas produced profound ecological injustices and that the concept ofecological justice (human and ecological rights) itself needs critiquing. Green Criminology and Green Theories of Justice is a timely text whichurges the field to revisit its radical roots in social justice while broadeningits disciplinary horizons to include a meaningful analysis of politicaleconomy and its role in producing and responding to environmental harmand injustice.
