ABSTRACT
Such questions stand to generate many important insights about criminology as well as those working within (and beyond) its confines. Elsewhere, I respond to these issues and look specifically at the relationship between criminology, andro/anthropocentrism, and the marginalization of Nature as the other of 'real' criminological work (see Halsey 2005a). For the moment, though, I want to leave these questions at the rhetorical level (as events which cast a shadow over the remainder of this discussion) and move instead toward an equally pressing issue. This has to do with how criminology has talked about environmental crime/harm to date and the problematic dimensions of such discourse.
