ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to propose a meta-historical framework for the eco-global criminology. It explores the eco-global criminology as part of a criminological continuum in which criminologists have studied the interrelationship between crime, animals, humans and the nature. The new paradigmatic narrative form of the second period in the history of eco-global criminology focused on sexual crimes, bestiality or zoophilia as it was termed by Richard von Krafft-Ebing in Psychopatia Sexualis. Human-animal sexual relations were seen as the mark of the degenerate criminal par excellence. The new sciences demolish the old, comfortable anthropocentrism and also problematized the relation between external appearances and internal reality, most notably in the case of the human body. Arguably, eco-global criminology is still seen as a marginal part of the criminological enterprise. It is often considered as merely a new term for the traditional environmental criminology or research on organized crime.
