Abstract
AbstractThis article examines the concept of environmental justice and its implications for criminology, criminal justice, and victimology. It first considers two different definitions of environmental justice before turning to a review of criminological studies related to environmental justice. It then summarizes the growing evidence on environmental injustice across disciplines, taking into account some important methodological considerations. It also illustrates how a concern with environmental justice can change the nature of research undertaken by criminologists, focusing on toxins as a cause of crime and the construction of crime. Finally, the article discusses four areas of potential environmental justice scholarship for criminologists, criminal justice, and victimology scholars and stresses the role of criminologists in these areas to help move environmental justice studies forward.
