| Summary: | Ecofeminism, as a socio- political movement/ ideology, emphasizes the
conceptual connections between oppression against woman and oppression
against nature. On the other hand, environmental crime victims are the
subject matter of green victimology, which defines environmental crime in
the wider sense, so that it consists not only of criminal offences, but also
of all the non-incriminated ecologically harmful acts. As its victims mostly
appear to be women, nature/ ecosystems, animals and vulnerable groups,
therefore ecofeminism serves as the fundamental theory in exposing the
andocentric context of their victimization. Taking that as a starting point,
an overview of the victimological patterns and roots of victimization by
environmental crime, as it is defined in green victimology, is presented in
the paper. This is done from an ecofeminist perspective. The focus is on the
most frequent victims of environmental crime - woman and animal. The
objective is to find certain common denominators of their victimological
patterns and roots of victimization in order to make proposals for a more
adequate response to their victimization. |
