Criminology and the Anthropocene Summary

Criminology and the Anthropocene by Cameron Holley (University of New South Wales, Australia)

The Anthropocene signals a new age in Earth's history, a human age, where we are revealed as a powerful force shaping planetary systems. What might criminology be in the Anthropocene? What does the Anthropocene suggest for future theory and practice of criminology? This book seeks to contribute to this research agenda by examining, contrasting and interrogating different vantage points, aspects and thinking within criminology.

Bringing together a range of multidisciplinary chapters at the cutting edge of thinking and environmental rethinking in criminology, this book explores a mix of key intractable problems of the Anthropocene, including climate change and overexploitation of natural resources that cause environmental insecurities; crime and corruption; related human insecurity and fortressed spaces; and the rise of new risks and social harms.

Of interest to scholars in the fields of criminology, sociology and environmental studies, this book provides readers with a basis for analysing the challenges of, and possible approaches to, the Anthropocene at all levels (local, national, regional and international) and discusses the future(s) of criminology for improving social policies and practices.

Criminology and the Anthropocene Reviews

All of social science is struggling to adapt to the Anthropocene. With this humane and smart book, criminology asks the important questions about how we adapt old practices and ways of thinking to a human-made, and human-threatened, world. Some answers are pessimistic, others are hopeful - all are stimulating.

- Scott Burris, Professor of Law, Temple University Beasley School of Law

This brilliant book shows how life in the Anthropocene throws up new challenges. The authors evocatively throw down the challenge of how to answer questions such as who is guilty of harms that undermine human security, how do we think about intent and responsibility across time, with myriad interacting causes, some human, some not? They take us on a confronting, compelling, thoughtful and insightful journey to re-think how we deliver security.

- Valerie Braithwaite, Professor in the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), Australian National University

In this bold, involving and important book Shearing and Holley and their distinguished contributors address questions that are of compelling importance for our time and for any vision of the future that we can credibly imagine. For criminologists, as for practitioners of many disciplines, our human interactions with the planetary systems that sustain the diversity of life on earth pose questions of dizzying complexity and engender dangers of forbidding scope and scale. This book signals - without bombast but with great urgency - that nothing less than a complete re-assessment of our topics, concepts, theories and methods, and a thorough re-evaluation of our roles and responsibilities, will do.

- Richard Sparks, Professor of Criminology, University of Edinburgh
