Transnational environmental crime and green criminology

This presentation introduces the topic of transnational environmental crime by defining it, indicating the magnitude, scope, and harms, and identifying the various types from a green criminological perspective. In addition, the criminogenic asymmetries that attract environmental crime networks are examined, the involved actors, the legal-illegal interfaces, and the role of crime convergence. The presentation will conclude with a reflection on the development of ecocentric responses to prevent and react to transnational environmental crime
