The Status of White Collar and Corporate Crime in Undergraduate Criminology and Criminal Justice Curriculum
Criminologists consistently find that the cost and magnitude of white collar and corporate crime is extensive and severe, both physically and fiscally. Despite this, extant research suggest white collar and corporate crime remains on the periphery of the discipline. This study set out to explore how white collar and corporate crime are represented in criminology and criminal justice undergraduate curriculum. To assess this, curriculum data from 4…
The Climate Change-Temperature-Crime Hypothesis: Evidence from a Sample of 15 Large US Cities, 2002 to 2015
Drawing on prior studies, green criminologists have hypothesized that climate change will both raise the mean temperature and the level of crime. We call this the “climate change-temperature-crime hypothesis” (“CC-T-C”). This hypothesis is an extension of research performed on temperature and crime at the individual level. Other research explores this relationship by testing for the relationship between seasonality and crime within a given period…
Measuring the Ecological Impact of the Wealthy: Excessive Consumption, Ecological Disorganization, Green Crime, and Justice
Ecological disorganization stemming from conspicuous consumption practices is understudied in the social sciences. In this analysis, we study conspicuous consumption and its implications for environmental sociology, ecological footprint analysis, and green criminology. We examine the issue of conspicuous consumption through the study of items that increase the ecological footprint considerably, that is, through the consumption of “luxury commodit…
Environmental crime and justice
Several early green criminology (GC) studies addressed environmental justice (EJ) by examining environmental racism and proximity to environmental hazards. This chapter reviews the definition of green crime, its connection to EJ, and several primary areas of GC research. In each area, it draws attention to how that research addresses traditional and expanded notions of EJ. Green criminologists often define green justice/injustice using philosophi…
The Neglect of Quantitative Research in Green Criminology and Its Consequences
Exploring Community Levels of Lead (Pb) and Youth Violence
An emergent body of literature has documented a relationship between the lead (Pb) pollution (a structural form of violence) and crime (including interpersonal forms of violence) at the aggregate level. This study contributes to the lead and crime literature by exploring the relationship between lead and youth violence at the community level. To explore this association, data on lead, concentrated disadvantage, residential mobility, racial and et…
Does the Modernization of Environmental Enforcement Reduce Toxic Releases? An Examination of Self-policing, Criminal Prosecutions, and Toxic Releases in the United States, 1988-2014
According to modernization theory, enforcement schemes that rely on end-of-the-pipe regulation are not as effective at achieving improved environmental performance as market-based approaches that encourage pollution prevention. Consistent with that observation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency transitioned to the use of self-policing to encourage pollution prevention. Other studies note that environmental compliance is significantly affec…
The Weak Probability of Punishment for Environmental Offenses and Deterrence of Environmental Offenders: A Discussion Based on Usepa Criminal Cases, 1983–2013
Numerous studies observe a decrease in environmental crimes following imposition of fines or penalties potentially due to general and specific deterrent effects. Here we explore whether those deterrent effects appear plausible by estimating the probability of a USEPA criminal case occurring each year between 1983 through 2013. Our analysis shows that there is an extremely low probability of an environmental crime case being prosecuted criminally …

Green and Environmental Criminology
Green and environmental criminology represents the coming together of two areas of study: particularly, the study of environmental harms, justice, and laws with the study of class, race, gender, and ethnicity inequalities examined by radical criminologists. These research initiatives include studies of green offending, green victimization, and costs associated with pollution, manufacturing, and distribution of environmental hazards, and enforceme…
