Abstract
Green criminology means different things to different people. Ostensibly ‘green criminology’ emerged in the early 1990s to describe a critical and sustained approach to the study of environmental crime. However, the tasks described by the term had in fact been undertaken well before the 1990s. The critical study of environmental crime thus predates green criminology as such.
