My first published work in the area of 'green criminology' is ‘Masculinities and Crimes Against the Environment’ Theoretical Criminology, May 1998 2(2), 249-267 which stemmed from my PhD on car crime. That PhD explored 'joyriding' rather than joyriders and noted a 'car culture' which the young men shared with their workers, police officers and all of us. Thus both masculinities and green issues were raised.
Despite being a car driver (see Ambivalent Criminology – ‘Have you stopped driving your car?’ for a reflection on that) I have always been interested in green issues. This can be seen in two essays I wrote in 1991 for my MA.
Corporate Crime: an environmental view specifically imagined what a green or eco-criminology might comprise.
Global drug solutions: The Green and the White examined the environmental damage of white drugs; might green drugs be better?
My chapter, 'Matter All Over the Place: Litter, Criminology and Criminal Justice' in Routledge International Handbook of Criminology, talks about litter but also what constitutes 'green criminology'. I presented on this at the British Society of Criminology in July 2013 at Wolverhampton University and am working on the full paper currently.
