Abstract

Green criminologists often deploy the notion of harm to capture patterns of environmental victimisation sitting outside the narrow and legalistic confines of environmental ‘crime’. In doing so, their analytical gaze is cast wide, resulting in a lack of focus on states and their specific obligations to protect citizens from such victimisation. The current article addresses this by using the dialectic conception of state crime to direct criminological attention towards these obligations. Using its constituent elements of human rights, deviance and legitimacy, the article examines the state duty to protect environmental human rights, the importance of involving opposition groups in research on deviant state activity, and the challenges faced by scholars attempting to evidence the illegitimacy of such practice. In doing so, literature from state crime and green criminological scholarship is synthesised, resulting in a concept of state environmental crime that is of utility to both fields.
绿化国家犯罪概念
绿色犯罪学家经常利用危害的概念来捕捉环境受害者的模式,这些模式位于环境“犯罪”的狭窄和法律范围之外。在这样做的过程中,他们的分析目光过于宽泛,导致缺乏对国家及其保护公民免受此类伤害的具体义务的关注。本文通过使用国家犯罪的辩证法概念来解决这个问题,将犯罪学的注意力引向这些义务。本文运用人权、越轨行为和合法性的构成要素,考察了国家保护环境人权的义务、反对派团体参与越轨行为研究的重要性,以及试图证明这种行为的非法性的学者所面临的挑战。在此过程中,综合了国家犯罪和绿色犯罪学的文献,形成了一个对两个领域都有用的国家环境犯罪的概念。
