As planet Earth grapples with unprecedented levels of anthropogenically induced environmental and climatic change, two distinct academic schools of thought have emerged in recent years, dedicated to unraveling the complexities behind this state of affairs. These fields of study, known as green criminology and earth jurisprudence, while situated within the broader domains of law and criminology, offer unique perspectives and approaches to understanding the challenges we face. While these areas of study may be considered sub-disciplines of their parent disciplines, this book proposes a collaborative approach that can yield significant benefits. By bringing together scholars from these fields, it is argued that green criminology can gain valuable insights from a discipline that prioritizes the protection of nature and, in turn, provides a solution to the environmental harms identified by green criminologists. Furthermore, earth jurisprudence can leverage the wealth of academic work produced within the green criminology academic arena, broadening its scope and impact. Hence, this book endeavors to unite green criminology and earth jurisprudence in a collective effort to address the extraordinary environmental challenges that the world currently confronts.
