Reviews
'Andrew Lemieux once said to me that animals don't vote. That is why it falls to those who care about the diversity of the animal population and the future of this planet to prevent the crimes that are so well documented in this book. To ignore its content and the exciting, preventative ideas that are offered is to do a huge disservice to our children. I recommend the book as an inspiring publication, which I hope will lay the foundation for more to come.' - Gloria Laycock, Professor of Crime Science, University College London, UK 'Poaching is a crime with global and historical repercussions. This important and timely book, written by some of the most influential scholars in the field, fills a critical void in the criminology and crime prevention literature.' - D. Kim Rossmo, School of Criminal Justice, Texas State University, USA 'Andrew Lemieux's Situational Prevention of Poaching is a marvellous book. Its internationally respected contributors go far beyond lamenting the impact of poaching on our wildlife. They show with rigorous research why this is happening, and as important, they show how practical steps can be taken to stop it. Anyone - wildlife manager, conservation official, policy maker, researcher, student, or informed citizen - concerned with the protection of wildlife must read this book.' - John E. Eck, Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati, USA 'This volume represents the first step in establishing the criminology of poaching and its prevention. It is remarkable for its multi-faceted treatment - including various actors, diverse disciplinary approaches, and a range of poaching operations - of an important but neglected problem. This work will be influential for many years.' - Michael Townsley, Senior Lecturer, School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Griffith University, Australia
