This paper examines how law and legal analysis fit within the broader green criminological project. By demonstrating how legal analysis in various forms can cast significant light on key green criminological questions, the paper seeks to address the concern that green criminology – with its preponderance of ‘deep green’ viewpoints and focus on social harms which are not proscribed by formal law – precludes the application of legalistic values such as certainty and consistency. Ultimately, the goal of the paper is to demonstrate how, despite the novel challenges to the legal scholar presented by green criminology, the incorporation of a more legalistic perspective within an interdisciplinary exercise is not only desirable for green criminology but is in fact vital if the field is to realise its ambitions as a force for environmental good.

法律在绿色犯罪学中的作用和使用

本文探讨了法律和法律分析如何适应更广泛的绿色犯罪学项目。通过展示各种形式的法律分析如何对关键的绿色犯罪学问题产生重大影响，本文试图解决绿色犯罪学的担忧——其主要是“深绿色”观点，并关注正式法律未禁止的社会危害– 排除了诸如确定性和一致性等法律价值的应用。最终，本文的目标是证明，尽管绿色犯罪学对法律学者提出了新的挑战，但在跨学科实践中纳入更具法律主义的观点不仅对绿色犯罪学是可取的，而且实际上是至关重要的，如果领域是实现其作为环境公益力量的雄心。
