Ocean Justice: Addressing Crimes & Harms Against the Ocean with a Hopeful Vision for the Future
Special Issue for the International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy
Guest Editors: Emiline Smith (University of Glasgow), Julie Berg (University of Glasgow) and Chloe Heys (University of Lancashire)
Summary
Ocean justice seeks to create a more just and sustainable relationship between humans and the ocean, ensuring that benefits and responsibilities are shared fairly and that the health of marine ecosystems is maintained. But what would an inclusive justice approach focused on the ocean look like in policy or practice? And how can we better integrate environmental and social justice concerns into the study of ocean-related crimes and harms?
This special issue aims to shed light on anthropogenic crimes and harms against the ocean, ocean resilience, and the meaning of justice in relation to the ocean. We invite empirically-led, data-driven contributions that address such crimes and harms from a range of angles including academic or policy perspectives. The scope of this special issue focuses on crimes and harms against the ocean.
All submissions details and dates can be found at:
