Reviews
“This edition is undeniably an important first step for advancing knowledge about environmental crimes in Latin America … . The cases in this book include illustrations from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. … The volume’s combination of theoretical reflections with case studies makes for a particularly engaging read that would benefit anyone interested in contemporary environmental problems in Latin America.” (Johanna Espin, Critical Criminology, Vol. 26, 2018)
“Environmental Crime in Latin America offers an in-depth insight into the dark side of global interconnectedness, the illicit trade in wildlife, the environmental damages of economic exploitation and the damaging impact these have on local communities. The editors should be congratulated for creating a text in green criminology which focuses on Latin America. Hopefully, others will follow in their footsteps.” (Professor Katja Franko, Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law, University of Oslo, Norway)
