Up until Recently I had never even heard of Environmental Criminology? As a matter of fact I first heard the term on an article on Livescience titled: "Wildlife Bandits: How Criminology Can Fight Poaching" by Douglas Main (I'll attach the article for those not familiar with the topic) . AS a matter of fact I wondered if anyone has actually used any of the criminological theories or made new ones regarding what makes man commit crimes against Nature and/or wildlife? We shun acts of violence against one another; but not crimes against our environment. In fact I hipothesise that most people on their day to day lives actually commit enviromental crimes, yet there not aware of it.

Does anyone know of any research or papers on the subject? or any leading and/or current researchers on the topic? Another thing is what separates them from environmental activists?
