Abstract

The chapters in this book focus on crimes that criminologists tend to neglect: corporate crime and white-collar crime. Among the most neglected of these crimes are toxic crimes, which we provisionally define as illegal or immoral activities that harm the environment and human health through the production and disposal of hazardous waste. Toxic crimes stand out from other crime for four reasons.
