Environment and Contemporary Challenges to Criminal Law
(XIIth AIDP International Symposium for Young Penalists, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 23 October 2024)
Description
This special issue brings together thirteen original papers that examine contemporary and thoughtprovoking dimensions of criminal law concerning environmental offences. It explores the evolving directions of criminal policy aimed at addressing and criminalising serious environmental harm, including ecocide. The volume offers reflections on the possibilities of prevention, reparation, and restoration in complex environmental cases, drawing on restorative justice approaches and the potential of artificial intelligence.
In a world facing climate crisis and widespread environmental destruction, understanding, preventing, and remedying environmental harm has never been more urgent — and this volume offers crucial insights for scholars and practitioners
