In \u003ci\u003eGreen Crime\u003c\/i\u003e, criminal psychologist Dr. Julia Shaw takes us inside six world-changing environmental crimes and reveals how the perpetrators think, why their crimes are so deadly, and how we can stop them from damaging our planet and our future.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulia Shaw attempts to make sense of some of the worst environmental crimes of our recent past by considering them through the lens of criminal psychology: these are not just natural disasters or random acts of destruction, these are illegal acts which follow familiar criminal behavior patterns. With that understanding, we are able to make sense of these ecocides and strategize ways to prevent them.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a criminal psychologist, Dr. Shaw explores “six pillars” of criminal behavior, which can be applied in the case studies presented. These are: Ease, Impunity, Greed, Rationalization, Conformity, and Desperation.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing these pillars as guidelines, along with in-depth research and interviews with involved parties, Dr. Shaw takes us through six recent examples of large-scale environmental destruction caused by human criminal behavior. Part history book, part true crime thriller, her writing weaves in the complex backgrounds and criminal choices that make conditions ripe for these kinds of crimes to occur, in an attempt to understand what we can do to prevent them in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrimes covered are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e“Dieselgate” the Volkswagen emissions scandal \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe murder of Brazilian rainforest activists Zé Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife, Maria \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIllegal poaching for ivory by the Shuidong Syndicate \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe world’s longest ship chase, tracking down illegal fishing ship Thunder \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOperation Vala Umgodi (‘Close the Hole’) fighting illegal mining in South Africa \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and spill in the Gulf of Mexico \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chelsea Green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47086397292799,"sku":"9781645023791","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781645023791_s600x595.jpg?v=1775584612","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781645023791","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
