Crimes Against the Environment
Description
This program introduces the concept of "green crime," using conditions in Bhopal to define primary and secondary green crime. A range of sociologists explain the idea of transgressive criminology and the wider concept of harm, with a look at how Marxism and social theorist Ulrich Beck's concept of the "risk society" can be applied to problems such as the destruction of the rain forest and climate change. The video also notes how increased consumerism threatens environmental preservation, but suggests that capitalism may ultimately be a part of the solution.
