Green Crime
A riveting investigation into the world of 'green crime' as told through a series of real-world cases by criminal psychologist and bestselling author Dr Julia Shaw, Green Crime asks how, why and who commits these crimes so that we might better protect the planet.
Traffickers. Hit men. Outlaws. Thieves... Our planet is a crime scene - but can we catch the killers?
Enter a world where people are murdered, ecosystems are destroyed, organised criminals terrorise communities, and corporate gangsters operate outside the law. Closely following their every move are teams of secret agents, vigilantes, and scientists who are fighting for our planet's future.
Using insider sources and her expertise as a criminal psychologist, Dr Julia Shaw takes us deep into some of the worst environmental crimes of our time. She reconstructs the minds of the perpetrators in cases like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Dieselgate emissions scandal, and the Shuidong wildlife crime syndicate. From the Amazon forest to South African gold mines, she follows the impact of green crimes right to our doorsteps and meticulously profiles the work of the heroes bringing these criminals to justice.
Dr Shaw asks: how do the Earth's killers think? What makes their crimes so deadly? And how can we stop them from stealing our future?
Green Crime is the most far-reaching murder mystery ever told.
