"""Anna Di Ronco regales us with a delightful twist: her new book moves critical criminology decidedly towards the study of conflict and social change. A pathbreaking move that should reinvigorate us all."" Vincenzo Ruggiero, Middlesex University ""Policing Environmental Protest exemplifies the ways in which activist voices can be amplified within critical green criminology to push for more public engagement with radical imaginaries of the future. Drawing on autoethnographic fieldwork with eco-justice movements during the pandemic, Di Ronco's research showcases activist efforts to promote visual and performative messages of resistance and provide alternative images of more sustainable ways of living, even amidst increasing criminalization of dissent. Exposing the formidable potential of eco-justice movements to fight for social change in novel ways that effectively challenge state and corporate power and inspire further activism, this book is essential reading for activists and academics alike."" Elizabeth A. Bradshaw, Central Michigan University ""In this book, Anna Di Ronco draws on extensive fieldwork conducted in Trento, Italy, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to expose how 'eco-justice' activists were policed more intensively during a global public health crisis. Integrating critical criminology, green cultural criminology and sensory criminology, Di Ronco's book is both a case study of policing and social control of urban protest, and a forward-looking treatise for those horrified by the destruction of the environment by those in positions of power."" Avi Brisman, Eastern Kentucky University."
