It examines the methodological aspects of this new source for generating qualitative data in the green criminology field is followed by some excerpts that illustrate how images can provide a means of eliciting narratives from interviewees. Green criminology is a criminological area that allows the meeting of a wide range of theoretical orientations aimed at connecting a series of issues of crucial importance for today's world: environmental crimes, harms and various forms of justice related to the environment, the animal species and the planet. The chapter examines a town in southern Spain, Huelva, heavily polluted by a neighbouring industrial chemical plant established during the 1960s. It concludes with a call to use a qualitative visual approach for carrying out research in green criminology designed to open the way for new explorations of environmental harms and crimes.
