This book provides an overview of crimes involving water, including pollution, illegal dumping, and supply chain disruption from a criminological perspective. It examines a multifaceted issue from a comparative policy perspective supplemented with individual case studies to provide insights on the magnitude of the problem as well as possible solutions and policy recommendations. As growing populations and economic sectors continue to put unprecedented pressures on water supplies, the book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the problem in order to ensure the sustainability, long-term viability, and equitable use of this essential resource. The first part of the volume examines criminological and policy perspectives, including an overview of regulatory approaches, privatization of water resources, and the scope of the criminal problem in this area. The second part presents informative case studies from a variety of different regional and social contexts. Finally, the editors present an outlook in policy and enforcement improvements. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology, criminal justice, public policy, and comparative law, as well as those studying environmental regulations and sustainability. Water, Governance, and Crime Issues is a much needed addition to the growing original contributions of green criminology. This volume captures the complex landscape of water crimes, including the numerous disparities and inequalities of there being too much water in some places and too little in others amongst the many complexities. -Dr. Tanya Wyatt, University of Northumbria Water, Governance, and Crime Issues speaks to the scientific relevance of water for (green) criminology as well as the policy implications of water crimes. -Dr. Lieselot Bisschop, Erasmus School of Law.

De Natie der Planten, zo stelt Stefano Mancuso, was en is de unieke en eeuwige macht op aarde. Zonder planten zou al het leven op aarde waarschijnlijk nooit bestaan hebben. Planten zijn al lang geleden een samenwerkingsverband met ons aangegaan, ook al merken wij daar niets van. Zo heeft de mens bijvoorbeeld door de domesticatie van granen zijn voedselproblemen grotendeels opgelost. Maar in ruil hebben graan, rijst en mais de kans gekregen om zich naar alle uithoeken van de wereld te verspreiden. Op toegankelijke en inspirerende wijze past Mancuso de Verklaring van de Universele Rechten van de Mens (1948) toe op het plantenrijk. Hij heeft de grondrechten van de plant opgesteld en in acht uitvoerig toegelichte artikelen beschreven. Bevlogen pleit hij, goed onderbouwd met nieuwe ontdekkingen en gegevens, voor de kracht van de plant en een bewustere manier van samenwerking tussen mens en natuur. Je hoeft geen bioloog of klimaatexpert te zijn om te begrijpen dat Mancuso’s 'De universele rechten van de plant' ons nog lang zal bezighouden.

This book exposes the barriers to inclusive and effective public policy making, which are the current decision making paradigm and commonly held ideas that reduce public policy problems to scientific and technical ones. Through both environmental policy and other decision making examples, readers are shown the commonalities of all decision making. Solution-oriented practitioners and stakeholders will find this book filling a conceptual and methodological gap in existing policy literature and practice. The authors deftly guide readers from post-normal science, wicked problems, and uncertainty concepts to a conceptually-grounded, practical implementation of a new approach, the open solution approach. The Multi-criteria Integrated Resource Assessment (MIRA) is described as the first generation methodology that fulfills the expectations for the inclusive, transparent, and learning-based open solutions approach. MIRA is a holistic package of concepts, methods and analytical tools that is designed to assess Decision Uncertainty, the combined uncertainties that include data, problem formulation, expert judgments, and stakeholder opinions. Introduction of the Requisite Steps, the common steps found in all decision making, provides the yardstick for evaluating a variety of decision making processes, decision tools, and commonly found indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the Newsweek Green Ranking of corporations. The use of anecdotes, policy stories, and case examples makes this a very readable and practical book for citizens and experts. With this book, readers are prepared to critically evaluate these common indices for their personal use as well as challenge policy processes as a stakeholder. For policy practitioners, this guidebook will become a rubric to ensure an effective public policy making process and to critically evaluate decision support tools.
