During the early stages of development and throughout the relatively brief history of green/conservation criminology, limited attention has been directed toward quantitative analyses of relevant environmental crime, law, and justice concerns. While acknowledging the significance of establishing a theoretical framework and terminology in the initial phases of this field's growth, this book aims to rectify this imbalance. The volume features contributions that undertake empirical quantitative studies of green/conservation crime and justice issues by both conservation and green criminologists. The collection highlights the shared concerns of these groups within significant forms of ecological crime and victimization, and illustrates the ways in which these approaches can be undertaken quantitatively. It encompasses quantitative conservation/green criminological studies conducted by both well-established scholars in these fields and by scholars whose works may be less well-known but who are nonetheless making valuable contributions to shaping this area of research.

The book offers a valuable contribution to the fields of Green and Conservation Criminology. It will be of interest to academics and students engaged in these disciplines.
