The environment is a source of international concern, with daily media and political coverage. Issues pertaining to environmental protection and sustainability have become part and parcel of contemporary social life. Green Criminology continues to emerge and assert a unique narrative within the criminological landscape (Beirne and South 2007). Illegal and negligent acts that damage the environment and result in harm to human and non-human species continue to focus the criminological lens. Rob White's Crimes against Nature: Environmental Criminology and Ecological Justice furthers existing discourses in Green Criminology. The book synthesizes, distils and critiques existing debates and discourses around Green Criminology and environmental harm. It raises numerous political, theoretical and policy issues that necessitate widespread engagement. It elevates the profile of acts that harm the environment and is written in an accessible and lively manner. As White indicates in the first chapter, the aim of the book is to ‘consider the key concerns, concepts and conundrums of environmental or green criminology’ and to ‘question, to initiate and summarise, to provoke and to stimulate’—all of which it does with a vivacious style
