Green Crime in the Global South
This book presents a socio-criminological study of environmental crime in the global South. It gathers contributors from all the regions of the geographical global South (Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America) to discuss instances of environmental crime and conflict. Overall, it seeks to further decolonise the knowledge production of green criminology. It considers the legacy of colonisation, North-South and the core-periphery divides in the production of environmental crime, the epistemological contributions of the marginalised, impoverished, and oppressed, and the unique contexts of the global South. This book has three sections: drivers of green crime in the global South; responses to ...

Indicting the 45th President
Indicting the 45th President is a sequel to Criminology on Trump in real time, continuing the criminological investigation into the former US president. Developing and expanding on the themes of family dynamics, deviance, deception, dishonesty, and the weaponization of the law, this book offers the next chapter on the world’s most successful outlaw. In this new book, Gregg Barak considers the campaigns and policies, the corruption, the state- organized abuses of power and obstructions of justice, the pardons, the failed insurrection, the prosecutions, the indictment of Trump and the politics of punishment as these revolve around the Trumpian character and social structures that encourage such crimes of the powerful. Barak also thoroughly addresses the threat to American Democracy, critiques the current state of the U.S. constitutional system, and proposes reforms to enhance justice for all in the United States. Another accessible and compelling read, this is essential reading for all those engaged with state and white- collar crime in the context of power and privilege, and those seeking a criminological understanding of Trump’s evasion of law and justice.
Opinio Iuris
A obra, opinio iuris, não apenas nos apresenta a “opinião jurídica” de gabaritados autores, professores e alunos do Curso de Direito das Faculdades João Paulo II, mas transveste-se no esforço coletivo daqueles que, buscando a conciliação entre o ambiente acadêmico e profissional, buscam levar ao leitor, nos quatro cantos do mundo, a produção técnico-científica lapidada na academia gaúcha. Pela leitura da obra, resta constatada, e gosto sempre de ressaltar, que a formação de bons estudantes e o aprimoramento dos profissionais do Direito exigem uma tríade indissociável, composta pelo ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Só a busca pela excelência destes três elementos formará cidadãos engajados pelo Direito, este visto como uma ciência, categorizada dentre as Sociais Aplicadas, que não raras vezes é colocado à prova por elementos como a política e a moral.
Green Criminology
In the past three decades, a stream of criminological inquiry has emerged which explores, measures, and theorizes crimes and harms to the environment at the micro-, mezzo-, and macro-levels. This “green criminology”, as it has come to be known, has widened the criminological gaze to consider crimes and harms committed against air, land (from forests to wetlands), nonhuman animals, and water in local, regional, national, and international areas or arenas. Accordingly, green criminology has endeavored to understand the causes and consequences of air and water pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change, corporate environmental crime (e.g., illegal waste disposal), food production and dist...
As outras vozes
Uma investigação geralmente precede de uma ou muitas inquietações. No caso específico desta obra, cujo objetivo é analisar as representações das violências de alguns vídeos do canal Ponte Jornalismo no YouTube, minha inquietação inaugural veio em razão da ausência de uma produção criminológica brasileira sobre o tema. Assim sendo, este livro percorre um caminho teórico voltado a pavimentar o estudo do campo, no sentido de apresentar e justificar certas escolhas e definições, como, por exemplo, considerar a Ponte Jornalismo uma força contra-hegemônica no universo das representações. Este livro apresenta-se da seguinte maneira: Parte 1, "Representações das violências". É formada pelo corpus teórico desta investigação. Parte 2, "Caminho metodológico". É constituída pela explicação da metodologia de pesquisa. Parte 3, "A Ponte". Trata-se de uma ponte ligando a parte teórica do trabalho com a parte empírica. Parte 4, "Cenas midiáticas: Uma ponte a outras representações". É a junção de teoria com campo. A finalidade deste capítulo final é a realização de uma análise criminológica sobre alguns vídeos da Ponte Jornalismo no YouTube.
Justice and Democracy in Brazil
This book details the struggle to establish and maintain democracy and justice in Brazil after 2000. From 1964 to 1984, Brazil had a dictatorship, which was followed by democratic elections. Later, from 2003 to 2016, the nation enjoyed a very popular and democratic government under President Lula and President Dilma, who created many social and educational programs that raised 32 million people out of extreme poverty. However, as this book highlights, since 2013, the nation has witnessed the rise of a very conservative movement, which led to the impeachment of President Dilma (2016), to the imprisonment of President Lula (2018) and to the election of a right-wing president, who represented a decline in democracy and rights from 2018 to 2022. In 2022, we had new elections, with the victory of President Lula, who took office on January 1, 2023. This book advocates for a new period in Brazilian politics, with full democracy, respect for the rule of law and social justice.
A lavanderia verde
Este livro trata do Meio Ambiente Natural como direito fundamental inalienável de todos os seres vivos e, da mesma sorte, da importância de sua preservação e conservação. Lado outro, apresenta a denúncia de prática da denominada "Lavanderia Verde", que, por seu turno, consiste na adoção por parte de agentes econômicos da adoção de Termos de Compromissos Ambientais perante as autoridades governamentais contentes, como subterfúgio para se isentarem de suas responsabilidades civis e criminais, assim como ludibriar a opinião pública ao se manifestarem como empresas ecologicamente sustentáveis.
