See CRICOS-registered alternativesIn the 21st century, environmental harm is an ever-present reality of our globalised world, with criminologists increasingly asking questions relating to how different political, social and criminal justice systems respond – or fail to respond – to the harm imposed on ecosystems and their human and non-human components. Such work has crystallised into the rapidly evolving field of green criminology. However, much of what we may think of as green crime is not in fact defined as 'criminal' by criminal justice agencies. In response, as leading criminologist Nigel South (2010: 242) states, the study of crime, justice and the environment requires not just "a new academic way of looking at the world but also a new global politics”. Drawing on a harm perspective, students will examine questions concerning rights, justice, moral and the nature of victimisation. Central topics include social justice, ecological consciousness, the destructive nature of global capitalism, the role of the nation state (and regional and global regulatory bodies) as well as inequality and discrimination as these relate to class, gender, race, Indigeneity and nonhuman animals. These debates enable students to think beyond a narrow focus on street-level and interpersonal crimes, turning their critical attention to the destructive and harmful effects of human activities on local and global ecosystems.
