Abstract

The author explore a situated environmental scenario: Huelva, a town in southern Spain, heavily polluted by a huge industrial and chemical plant. He examine this case of environmental crime through a "green criminological perspective", scrutinizing, observing and analysing the interactions between humans and the environment they inhabit just when such interactions become more dissatisfying, frustrating and increasingly fraught with risks, dangers and destruction. From this perspective also, a possible approach to social harm implies a change of the destructive social and environmental relations.
