This collection is the first exploration into green crime in Mexico,
offering a unique critique of the environmental problems facing Mexico
today. Written by a diverse range of Mexican academics and practitioners
from different career stages and various different disciplines, this
edited volume exposes the corruption, power, and disregard for the
environment through highly detailed and engaging case studies. The
chapters are grouped into four categories: Environmental Degradation,
Social and Environmental Justice, Wildlife Trafficking, and
Non-compliance with Environmental Obligations, and are illuminated by
rigorous original research. This book fills a substantial gap in
knowledge about concerns that are important not only to the Mexican
people and the wider region, but to anyone with an interest in the
environmental issues facing the world today. To this end, the
contributors hope to inspire other Mexicans to study and research green
crimes as well as to influence scholars and practitioners across Central
and South America who are facing similar environmental crises and
challenges.
