“The way the soil crumbled in their hands”
Abstract
The chapters in this section push criminologists to widen our understandings of harm and victimisation. In her study of the destruction of the British countryside, Amy Gibbons explores how a sensorial approach to empirical data can advance conversations in rural and green criminology. Ascensión García Ruiz moves us from land to water, exploring the sensory experiences of marine creatures and arguing that marine life deserves the same level of attention as terrestrial life. Finally, Aysegul Yildirim frames environmental noise pollution as harm, proposing an integration of green-critical criminology and sound studies to expand the methods we use to understand the embodied experience of sound.
