Routledge Victims of Environmental Harm - Criminal Justice Law

As climate change and environmental degradation increase, the legal world is paying more attention to the criminal liability of individuals, organizations, and states. While green criminology has become a growing area of study, many academic discussions lack a specific focus on the people actually suffering from these changes. Victims of Environmental Harm: Rights, Recognition and Redress Under National and International Law addresses this gap. Part of the Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice series, this book examines the rights and legal protections available to those affected by pollution and environmental damage. It provides a necessary look at how national and international laws handle the recognition and redress of victims. This text is designed for those studying the intersection of environmental issues and criminal justice. It moves beyond theoretical discussions of liability to focus on the human element of environmental harm, making it a vital resource for understanding modern criminological challenges.
