Ecologies of Security

Everyday Disorder in a Climate-Changed World

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

In a time of climate breakdown, everyday security is shaped as much by ecological degradation as by familiar forms of disorder. Drawing on two research encounters with a northern English town, set 25 years apart, this book reveals how local concerns about chronic environmental damage blur the boundaries between criminal and non-criminal harms. It proposes an ecological rethinking of security — one that recognizes how worries about sustainability, place and quality of life increasingly intertwine.

Bringing environmental and green criminology into closer dialogue, the book shows how austerity and climate anxieties converge, and how communities’ hopes for habitable futures demand new ways of understanding — and acting upon — everyday disorder.
