‘[E]xcellent quality and clearly written, by eminent scholars whose writing is cutting-edge and at the top of their fields. While the book chiefly addresses environmental crime and its erstwhile deterrence in the Global North, some attention is given to Africa, China, Latin America, and South Africa. The handbook offers a healthy variety of theoretical perspectives, some complementary, others antagonistic, some driven by abstract theory, others by empiricism.’
