The number of victims from environmental harm far exceeds that from everyday property and interpersonal crime, yet little is known about the experience of environmental victimisation. This paper makes a case for a narrative green victimology to advance scholarship about environmental victims, drawing on data from interviews with persons affected by a waterborne outbreak of campylobacter in the small town of Havelock North, New Zealand, in August 2016. Findings demonstrate that understandings of environmental harm are developed in narratives, with narratives. In particular, participants’ stories of harm and victimisation revealed fragments of larger, cultural narratives about sacrifice, nation-building, motherhood, and environmental purity, each of which affected their understanding of the impact of the outbreak on their autonomy as agentive persons. It is proposed that a narrative green victimology offers environmental victimology a platform upon which it can foot its frameworks.

受环境损害侵害的人数远远超过了日常财产和人际犯罪，但对环境受害的经验知之甚少。本文利用叙事性绿色受害者论作为案例，以提高环境受害者的学术水平，该研究借鉴了2016年8月在新西兰Have Have North小镇受到水状弯曲杆菌爆发影响的人士的访谈数据。调查结果表明，人们的理解叙事中发展了对环境危害的描述。特别是，参与者关于伤害和受害的故事揭示了有关牺牲，建国，孕产和环境纯净的大型文化叙事的片段，他们中的每一个都影响了他们对爆发影响对他们作为代理人自治的影响的理解。有人提出，叙事绿色受害者论为环境受害者论提供了一个可以立足其框架的平台。
