Description
Summary:Criminology largely ignored the non-human until green criminology emerged, largely due to the scholarship of Professor Nigel South. Since that time, non-human animals have increasingly been objects and then subjects of research on harm and crime. Nigel and other green criminologists have firmly placed the non-human animal question on the criminological agenda. Some of the latest green criminological research seeks to merge species justice with social justice by exploring how restorative justice approaches to punishment can be utilised when non-human animals are victims of harm and crime. This chapter outlines the state of knowledge of this development sharing examples from Scotland and Ireland and speculates as to how society can represent the non-human in criminal justice systems.
