Green crime : inside the minds of the people destroying the planet, and how to stop them. by Shaw, Julia.;
"A popular BBC presenter and podcaster looks at six world-changing environmental crimes and takes readers inside the minds of the people responsible. Our planet is a crime scene. People are murdered, ecosystems are destroyed, and corruption is rampant. In Green Crime, criminal psychologist Dr. Julia Shaw takes us inside six world-changing environmental crimes and reveals how the perpetrators think, why their crimes are so deadly, and how we can stop them from damaging our planet and our future. Julia Shaw attempts to make sense of some of the worst environmental crimes of our recent past by considering them through the lens of criminal psychology: these are not just natural disasters or random acts of destruction, these are illegal acts which follow familiar criminal behavior patterns. With that understanding, we are able to make sense of these ecocides and strategize ways to prevent them. As a criminal psychologist, Dr. Shaw explores "six pillars" of criminal behavior, which can be applied in the case studies presented. These are: Ease, Impunity, Greed, Rationalization, Conformity, and Desperation. Using these pillars as guidelines, along with in-depth research and interviews with involved parties, Dr. Shaw takes us through six recent examples of large-scale environmental destruction caused by human criminal behavior. Part history book, part true crime thriller, her writing weaves in the complex backgrounds and criminal choices that make conditions ripe for these kinds of crimes to occur, in an attempt to understand what we can do to prevent them in the future. Crimes covered are: "Dieselgate," the Volkswagen emissions scandal; the murder of Brazilian rainforest activists Zé Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife, Maria; illegal poaching for ivory by the Shuidong Syndicate; the world's longest ship chase, tracking down illegal fishing ship Thunder; Operation Vala Umgodi ('Close the Hole') fighting illegal mining in South Africa; the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and spill in the Gulf of Mexico "--Library Bound Incorporated

Three girls go into the woods, but only one comes out ... Driving alone at night in a wild rainstorm, Luke Conway strikes something--or someone. He and his wife, Carrie, recently moved back to Clear River to help take care of her ailing father, and after a tragedy at his previous job, this move is their last chance at a new life. Now, standing in the downpour on this Texas road, Luke, an off-duty cop, has a decision to make--and he has to make it fast. No one else is around. No witnesses. And he can't find a body. Wanting to believe he's being paranoid, that he's just seeing things, Luke panics and leaves, deciding not to report the incident but rather to secretly investigate it. He can't put more stress on Carrie, who's already haunted by the unsolved attack and murder of two teenage girls that happened years ago in Clear River, a horrific crime in which she was the sole survivor. The killer has not been found, but Carrie and Luke's anguished search for answers will slowly reveal the horrific truth.
