RT Article T1 Criminology and genetically modified food JF The British journal of criminology VO 44 IS 2 SP 151 OP 167 A1 Walters, Reece LA English YR 2004 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1639316469 AB Genetically modified or engineered foods are produced from rapidly expanding technologies that have sparked international debates and concerns about health and safety. These concerns focus on the potential dangers to human health, the risks of genetic pollution, and the demise of alternative farming techniques as well as biopiracy and economic exploitation by large private corporations. This article discusses the findings of the world's first Royal Commission on Genetic Modification conducted in New Zealand and reveals that there are potential social, ecological and economic risks created by genetically modified foods that require closer criminological scrutiny. As contemporary criminological discourses continue to push new boundaries in areas of crimes of the economy, environmental pollution, risk management, governance and globalization, the potential concerns posed by genetically modified foods creates fertile ground for criminological scholarship and activism K1 Biotechnologie K1 Governance K1 Globalisierung K1 Risikoeinschätzung DO 10.1093/bjc/44.2.151
