"Cleaning Up Greenwash is a stark reminder that environmental cleanliness only begins when humankind recognizes the environmental mess it has made. An indispensable must-read, Nurse's book is essential for anyone who cares about our present environment and the future of our planet --James Gacek, University of Regina Years of legal oil exploration lead to polluted, undrinkable water in a region. Because the activity is legal, this is not a crime despite the harm it has caused. Nurse makes a compelling argument that demonstrates, as in this example, how current legal and social systems do not accurately cover the malfeasance of corporations. Corporations are often seen as benign entities incapable of crime and thus fall under regulations rather than criminal law. In this view, any wrong is the result of bad individuals within a corporation rather than the corporation itself. However, the emerging field of green criminology suggests that the very nature of capitalism and production means that corporate harm to the environment is an inevitable outcome. This a clear-eyed introduction to green criminology. Highly Recommended. Undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners -- ""Choice Reviews"""
