This chapter discusses the potential usefulness of a visual and sensory methodology for investigating the social perception of environmental crime and harm. Given the scarcity of tools with which to approach these dynamic and elusive phenomena, we focus first on the theoretical and methodological overlaps between green, cultural, visual, and sensory criminologies. We accomplish this by considering two techniques to collect qualitative visual data: interviews-with-visual-materials (also known as photo-elicitation) and itinerant soliloquies-an innovative sociological form of mobile methodology. In doing so, we invite criminologists to reconsider the constitutive relationship between our ways of seeing and our ways of sensing and perceiving the environment in which we live.

¿Environmental security¿ has been defined as ¿[t]he current and future availability (determined by the factors¿supply, accessibility and management) of life-supporting ecosystem services and goods for human needs and natural process which contribute to poverty alleviation and conflict deterrence¿ (Hecker 2011: 12). While other permutations have been offered, in general, the concept of environmental security tends to ¿link environmental degradation and the associated scarcity of resources with human conflict at individual, group, and state levels¿ (Hall 2013: 228; 2015: 44¿45; South 2012: 104¿109). With the end of the Cold War and increasing knowledge of the negative effects of environmental degradation, scholars have come to recognize that environmental destruction and despoliation present severe threats to ¿human security¿ (itself a contested term: compare Bennett and colleagues (2015); Cao and Wyatt (2016); Mobley (2011); Newman (2016); Shearing (2015); Valverde (2014)) and all life of Earth¿that the harms and crimes of air and water pollution, deforestation and soil erosion from civilian and military activities can and do adversely and dramatically impact our living conditions¿and that such environmental damage can be both a cause and consequence of environmental conflict (Graeger 1996; see also Brisman et al. 2015).

The phrase ¿water is the next oil¿ is widely used to describe the exorbitant profits produced as a result of its growing commodification (Zabarenko 2009). As McGee (2014) observes, ¿Companies proclaim water the next oil in a rush to turn resources into profit¿Mammoth companies are trying to collect water that all life needs and charge for it as they would for other natural resources¿.

In the children¿s book, 11 Experiments That Failed (Offill 2011), a young girl poses the question, ¿Can a message be sent in a bottle to a faraway land?¿ Her hypothesis is that ¿The hole in the bottom of the toilet leads to the sea¿, and she sets out to test this by placing a message in a bottle and seeing what happens when she flushes it down the toilet. The following page reveals an illustration of the girl¿s house with water pouring out of the windows and the girl adrift on a toilet seat. Bobbing next to her is a potpourri of household items.

Most countries will impose restrictions on the discharge of pollutants into water and, in particular, will set standards for the quality of drinking water. Of course, whether these restrictions are applied with any rigour and whether these standards are met raise the kind of questions with which this book is concerned. We start here with the issue of pollution of water because it tends to be the most common water concern, crime or harm of which people are aware: often, although not always (as we will discuss below in the context of Flint, Michigan), polluted water looks, tastes or smells foul. Of course, for many people across the world, the greater issue is access to water in the face of drought¿thirst and related starvation¿and in such circumstances, polluted water is consumed on the basis that dirty water is better than no water at all. In other instances, water pollution leads to issues of water scarcity: a region may rely on a specific water body and when it becomes polluted, access to clean freshwater becomes frustrated (see generally Smith 2015).Our point is that while water pollution and access to clean water are often conceptualized as separate problems with different socioeconomics and geopolitics, this is not always necessarily the case (McClanahan et al. 2015).We shall discuss these circumstances and the issues related to health and inequalities in a later chapter. For now, back to pollution¿and to the different ways in which it occurs¿not always so easily detectable as might be assumed¿as well as the different ways in which it is responded to, for purposes of prevention and prosecution of polluters.

The television sci-fi drama, ¿The Expanse¿, based on the novels written by James S. A. Corey, depicts a future solar system where the dwarf planet ¿Ceres¿ provides diminishing sources of fresh water for competing intergalactic colonies. In such worlds, 200 years hence, water has become more than a commodity for monetary exchange: it is now a precious, finite, politicized and respected ingredient for human survival. Corey describes the activities of ¿water smugglers¿, who seek their fortunes from dealing in this rare resource, and paints a picture of the political and diplomatic value of fresh water where societies have come to realize its intrinsic life-giving qualities; those who see it merely as a commodity are represented as criminals and outcasts. Corey thereby represents the modern day ¿water buccaneers¿¿the corporate entities that exploit and profit from fresh water¿as the pariahs of the future.

In their proposal for a new paradigm for environmental sociology, Dunlap and Catton (1979) have argued for the necessity of a broader understanding of the interdependence between humans and the biophysical environment of which they are a part. This includes recognition of systems of reciprocity and feedback. Ultimately, ecological processes will impose limits on the constant human quest for growth and consumption. Perhaps ¿water¿ provides the most significant test case regarding this proposition as we begin to understand the extent and implications of the processes of global warming and climate change that are underway.

As we have described and discussed in the preceding chapters, water issues take shape in a variety of ways. From concerns regarding access and pollution, to drought and flooding as attendant effects of global climate change, to privatization and corporate consolidation of water supplies and the deceptive marketing of bottled water, water is at the centre of a diverse array of issues with unique criminological relevance. Indeed, as our title and framing suggest, water issues can be thought of as constituting and falling on a spectrum of extremes¿water is often too dirty, expensive or secured, access to water is too restricted, while flooding and geographically and socially dependent overabundance give some too much water. In this chapter, we demonstrate a global recognition of the importance of water by highlighting and describing a few of the countless social, political and cultural moments and movements resisting the harms associated with inadequate access, poor quality, privatization and habitus. Each of the moments of resistance noted in this chapter is connected: at the centre of each is a call for ¿water justice¿.

This is the system that sustains and reproduces life and, as Everard (2013: 28) points out, the depth of the interdependence of these constituent parts is ¿exemplified by the water cycle¿:

As an emerging perspective, green cultural criminology seeks to bring together green criminology and cultural criminology, and to identify points of overlap (Brisman and South 2013a, 2014).2 More specifically, green cultural criminology endeavours to illuminate how cultural criminology¿s attention to space is central to green criminology (and thus that cultural criminology is, at some levels, ¿already doing¿ green criminology). In addition, green cultural criminology attempts to highlight means by which green criminology might adopt a cultural criminological lens: (1) by assigning greater consideration to the way(s) in which environmental crime, harm and disaster are constructed and represented by the news media and in popular culture forms; (2) by dedicating increased attention to patterns of consumption, constructed consumerism, commodification of nature and related market processes; and (3) by devoting heightened concern to the contestation of space, transgression, and resistance, in order to analyse the ways in which environmental harms are opposed in/on the streets and in day-to-day living (Brisman and South 2013a, 2014; see also McClanahan 2014).

This collection includes chapters that range across a variety of forms or examples of conflict related to environmental matters.2 This is deliberate in order to achieve several goals. First, we wished to pull together such disparate examples to provide a baseline resource for a criminology concerned with environment and conflict relationships. Although well explored in fields like political ecology, political science, geography and conflict studies, this is not a topic that has received much attention within criminology, despite the fact that crimes and harms of considerable seriousness and significance are intertwined with these conflicts. Second, we wanted to continue to highlight the international compass of a green or environmentally sensitive criminology (South and Brisman 2013; White 2010, 2011; White and Heckenberg 2014). The contributors to this volume exemplify this global engagement and they bring to bear on their chosen topics a keen intellectual interest, academic rigour and passionate concern. Finally, we wanted to explore our own thinking about a typology of environment-conflict relationships. In this introductory chapter, we start by outlining and filling out in a preliminary way what such a typology might look like. We then move to an overview of the chapters that follow.

Stanley Cohen was concerned with the crimes and harms that are perpetrated by legitimate bodies, such as states and corporations, and with the way in which these acts and omissions, their impacts and consequences (discussed further below), have been routinely ignored, overlooked, excused or simply denied. In various influential works, such as his 1993 article, ¿Human rights and crimes of the state: The culture of denial¿, his 1985 book, Visions of Social Control, and his 2001 book, States of Denial: Knowing about Atrocities and Suffering, Cohen appealed to us to open our eyes, see and acknowledge the hidden crimes, horrors and indignities inflicted by humans on others, and his work explored important themes of truth and deception: the distortion of the former and the ways in which we produce the latter individually and collectively. The victims of ignored or almost invisible crimes and harms can easily be overlooked when offenders seek to hide their actions and the injuries caused, and when these victims are already socially invisible, marginalized or forgotten (Davis et al., 2014; Hall, 2014). No great effort at camouflage or disguise is required if the perpetrators or conspirators can enlist the willing cooperation of many or most in buying into the cover-ups, the denials and the comfortable avoidance of challenge. Stealthy misdirection, misinformation and the power to pay for legal harassment and media control shape a socioeconomic landscape in which the crimes and harms for which the powerful are responsible continue much as ever (Brisman, 2012).

In ¿¿Multicolored¿ Green Criminology and Climate Change¿ Achromatopsia¿ (Brisman, forthcoming), I contemplated whether we might regard climate change as achromatopsic - whether we might consider it colorblind in that it ¿affects us all, regardless of where we live, regardless of skin colour, income, ethnicity, religion and gender¿ (White 2010:10). After exploring whether the impacts of climate change will be distributed unevenly/unequally I suggested that we seem to be facing a situation in which the achromatopsia of climate change ¿ the indiscriminate way in which greenhouse gases know no bounds (see, e.g., Leech 2012; Walters 2013; see generally, Fountain and Gillis, 2013) and climate change affects the entire planet ¿ will, because of existing inequalities and differential abilities to adapt, produce greater inequalities between developed and developing, rich and poor, white and non-white groups and countries.

Green criminology refers to the study of environmental harm by state and corporate actors, as well as individuals, and includes both specific incidents and events within defined geopolitical areas, and recurring patterns and phenomena of transboundary, transnational and global magnitude (see Carrabine et al. 2004; White 2008). Some green criminologists concentrate on state-and international-level environmental laws and regulations. These criminologists adopt what Halsey and White (1998: 345, 346) refer to as the ¿legal-procedural approach¿, which ¿establishes the parameters of harm by referring to practices which are proscribed by law¿ and that ¿privileges the criminal law in the definition of what constitutes serious social injury¿. Other green criminologists contemplate environmental harm more broadly, challenging prevailing definitions and ideas of ¿harm¿ by invoking notions of environmental morality, environmental ethics, and animal, ecological, or human rights (White 1998-1999; Beirne and South 2008). These criminologists employ the ¿socio-legal approach¿ - one that ¿conceives harm in terms of damaging practices which may or may not be encapsulated under existing criminal law¿ (Halsey and White 1998: 345). Thus, socio-legally-oriented green criminologists consider a wide range activities and practices that may be legal, but that are nonetheless environmentally destructive (see Brisman 2008).

The global flow of capital and competitive trading across borders has been accompanied by the weakening of the ability of regulators and sovereign countries to monitor and restrict harmful activities of multinational corporations. Multinationals often exert a disproportionately large amount of influence over the regulatory agencies that are charged with regulating them - a condition referred to as ¿regulatory capture¿ (see Stigler, 1971 in Borak, 2011) - and they have increasingly taken advantage of these globalising circumstances to lower environmental standards and to collude in violation of the rights of inhabitants of threatened locations (human and nonhuman) and of activists seeking to protect the environment (see, for example, Boelens et al., 2011; Clark, 2009; Global Witness, 2012; Newell, 2001; Williams, 1996).

This chapter presents a view of climate change from the perspective of green cultural criminology. The substantive focus of the chapter is on how climate change contrarianism is manifested in the mass media. Denial is profoundly ideological in nature; how it is conveyed and transmitted is of importance to those who wish to reorient collective thinking to not only recognizing the urgency and seriousness of the problem but also recasting it in criminal terms. As this chapter demonstrates, it is vital to understand and expose the dynamics and social construction of deception and contrary opinion if positive action is to be taken to address climate change issues.
