Articles are invited for a special ‘Green’ edition of the journal Radical Criminology. The overarching theme of the edition will be arguing for a green criminology as a means of addressing environmental harms (including animal abuse and wildlife crime) which are often ignored by mainstream criminology.
The editors are
interested in papers that discuss how a green criminological perspective
can inform criminal justice and social policy perspectives and wider social
harms that extend beyond narrow definitions of crime and criminal
behaviour. The special edition follows the
journal’s ‘deep green’ perspective which draws attention to and opposes
the integral relationships between capitalist exploitation, business practices, and the destruction of local and global
ecosystems. We are particularly
interested in papers on the following themes:
· Environmental
harm as crime
· Environmental
regulation and corporate environmental crime
· The complicity
of states, their institutions and capitalist society in the destruction of ecosystems
· Animal Protection
and Wildlife crime
· Social and
ecological justice
· The importance and
impact of green criminology
Other topics fitting
within the scope of the journal’s radical manifesto (available
online) and the specific ‘green’ perspectives of the special edition are
also encouraged.
Full length/feature
articles to a maximum of 9,000 words in length and shorter pieces up to 4,000
words are both welcomed. The deadline
for abstracts is 31 March 2014 and a
decision on acceptance will be communicated to authors by 30 April 2014. Full versions
of accepted papers will be required by 30
July 2014 with authors expected to respond to peer-reviewers’ comments with
final papers no later than 20 October
2014.
Proposals
should include a title and an abstract of no more than 300 words, as well as
the author’s name, address, telephone number, email address, and institutional
affiliation and should be sent to one of the editors below:
