ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to integrate and extend two emerging areas in criminological thought—green cultural criminology and visual criminology. In an effort to further the cross-fertilization of green cultural criminology and visual criminology—and taking inspiration from Becker regarding the value of "case studies"—"in-depth studies of particular situations, organizations, or kinds of events"—the chapter examines a Spring 2016 photography exhibition at the Cincinnati Museum of Art: Human-Altered Landscapes. By examining the images in Human-Altered Landscapes, the chapter has endeavored to extend Carrabine's argument in a different direction—that understandings of environmental crime and harm can be enlarged through a contemplation of their representation in fine art photography. In the context of environmental crime and harm, Carrabine would suggest that spectacles of the suffering of the planet possess the potential to transform the way we live on and with the planet—and, as Rohrbach notes, "seeing is the first step toward acting on what one sees".
