Environmental values, beliefs, and norms affecting wild bird meat consumption
Illegal wild bird hunting and consumption threaten migratory birds worldwide. Balancing food consumption with ecological practices to prevent extinction demands an understanding of values, beliefs, norms, and behaviors. This first environmental sociological investigation of wild bird meat consumption (WBMC) in the Middle East shows its existence in Iran. Using VBN-theory and structural equation modeling to analyze 403 surveys, the results find th…
Why is water insecurity so distressing? Evidence from Iran that interpersonal conflict is key
Rethinking water insecurity's relationship to mental health
This study examines how water-related emotions explain differences in mental health outcomes associated with household water insecurity, based on randomized sampling of 685 households in 2024 in a severely water-stressed region of Iran. This extends current water insecurity research by empirically testing both negative and positive emotional mediators of mental health outcomes. In response to recent calls for better means to capture water-related…
Illegal bird hunting in Iran
Bottled-Water Consumption and Disposal in Herat, Afghanistan
Poor water quality drives bottled-water consumption (BWC) in developing countries if affordable, while plastic-bottle disposal exacerbates global environmental problems. This article presents data on drinking-water attitudes, norms and behaviours of 380 residents randomly surveyed in Herat, Afghanistan. Structural equation modelling found attitudes and norms affected drinking-water and plastic-disposal behaviours. Regression models explained 60 %…
Illegal Wildlife Trades and Ecological Consequences
Illegal bird hunting in and around the Fereydunkenar International Wetland in Iran has a long history but one with serious ecological consequences. Such hunting has involved the mass killing of critically endangered species – such as Siberian cranes, white-headed ducks, geese, lapwings and wintering raptors – and has caused damage to regional ecosystems. The outcome has been described by conservationists and regional news commentators as a “bird …
An empirical test of techniques of neutralization regarding polluting behaviors in rural Iran
Social Learning, Neutralization, and Environmental Crimes
Fereydunkenar county hosts millions of migratory birds in the southern parts of the Caspian Sea in the second half of every year. Despite the global prevalence of environmental crime, there is still a dearth of large-scale, empirical analyses of environmental crime in the Middle East. This study compared two well-established criminological frameworks rooted in social learning (neutralization theory and differential association theory) to compare …
Market Demand, Routine Activity, and Illegal Fishing
Despite the presence of the punishment mechanisms in Iran’s criminal law to deal with illegal fishing, this crime remains a major problem in the country, threatening the sustainability of the targeted species and affecting the livelihoods of the communities that depend on it as a significant source of protein. Applying the lens of environmental criminology, specifically the routine activities approach, this research seeks to examine the major dri…
Climate change, general strain and illegal fishing
In the present study, to explain illegal fishing, Agnew’s Criminology of Climate Change Theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. The study was conducted using a survey methodology, and a questionnaire was used for collecting the data. The population of the study consisted of the villagers of Fereydonkenar, an Iranian city in Mazandaran province, from whom 400 people were selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. The resul…
