The Climate Crisis, Criminology & the Justice System (L3126A)

15 credits, Level 5

This module critically reflects on the challenges that the climate emergency poses for criminology and the criminal justice system.

Drawing on green and conservation criminology, the module introduces you to:

• the study of environmental crimes and harms, including the damage to wildlife and the environment wrought by states and corporations
• the relationship between social inequalities
• structures of power and environmental degradation
• case studies and comparative analyses
• the criminal justice systemas both a contributor to environmental (in)justice and a group of institutions particularly at risk from climate disasters.
