In this lecture, Professor Rob White will outline the main concerns of climate change criminology, which deals with the connections between global warming, criminality, and crime. Earth’s future is being forged in the crucible of climate disruption and extreme weather events. For the institutions of criminal justice, the challenges are also immense and growing.
