Recensioner i media

"White's overall message is one of critique, connectivity, inclusion and collective enterprise. For him, a climate change criminology requires us to get to know our planet - what is going on where and why, and what we can do about it. It is an ambitious transdisciplinary challenge, but a sensible one it is hard to argue against it. There is no more pressing problem facing the continuation of the human species and Rob White has ensured that green criminology asserts a central place in the future of humanity and that of all living things." Reece Walters, Queensland University of Technology
