Environmental Criminology cover

Environmental Criminology: Spatial Analysis and Regional Issues combines various academic perspectives to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to examining environmental criminology. Using sociological, criminological, anthropological, historical and media analysis, this volume examines local and regional issues in crime. The interdisciplinary nature of the collection makes the book ideal for students or researchers who wish to expand their approach to environmental criminology.

Criminologists review research that combines a spatial analysis with environmental criminology, mapping crime and deviance across different locations globally. They cover framing injustice in green criminology: activism, social movements, and geography; anthropology at the red-green crossroads; the Ferguson shooting, 2014: a spatial and media analysis; spatial patterns of mass shootings in the US 2013-14; homeless demography in Los Angeles County; police culture, gender, and crime in the Irish Free State; a spatial analysis of crime: The Wire television series and depictions of urban crime; and toward a spatial analysis of methamphetamine in North America. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
