Green Crime in Mexico
CEESP News - by Dr.ÌýInes Arroyo-Quiroz and Tanya Wyatt
Green Crime in Mexico: A Collection of Case Studies (2018) offers a unique exploration of the key green criminological issues in Mexico. Builds on a rapidly growing area of scholarship in Latin America and beyond. Includes contributors from Mexican academics and practitioners.
This collection is the first exploration into green crime in Mexico, offering a unique critique of the environmental problems facing Mexico today. Written by a diverse range of Mexican academics and practitioners from different career stages and various different disciplines, this edited volume exposes the corruption, power, and disregard for the environment through highly detailed and engaging case studies.
The chapters are grouped into four categoriesÌýand are illuminated by rigorous original research:
- Environmental Degradation
- Social and Environmental Justice
- Wildlife Trafficking
- Non-compliance with Environmental Obligations
This book fills a substantial gap in knowledge about concerns that are important not only to the Mexican people and the wider region, but to anyone with an interest in the environmental issues facing the world today. To this end, the contributors hope to inspire other Mexicans to study and research green crimes as well as to influence scholars and practitioners across Central and South America who are facing similar environmental crises and challenges.
