“…This intellectual space allows researchers to rethink and reexamine how the biophysical and the socioeconomic components interact to impact the environment. Considerations include the pollution and deterioration of natural resources and the reframing of these as theft against nature 1 University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia (Brisman et al, 2017), through to elaborating the relationships between organized crime networks, toxic pollution, corporate crime, and the injuries caused to land-based and aquatic wildlife (South, 2014).…”

Counter-mapping refers to the public dissemination by activist groups of maps that visually document particular harms and offenders or sites of justice and prior ownership. Drawing upon green criminology, this article analyses the consequences of using counter-mapping as an activist tool. It examines how media framing of the Aussie Farms map is constructed around particularly polarizing narratives. This interactive map demonstrates the location and proliferation of animal agriculture and animal exploitation industries within Australia. Media framing has generated heated debate among Australian farmers and activists alike by inciting deeply emotional responses to the issues. We explore these common media narratives and their consequences for activists and tools such as counter-maps.

“…To step out of this narrow way of conceptualising the criminality of fire, green criminology (for example Brisman andSouth, 2013, 2018;South, 2014) contributes with a wider definition of victims as including humans and non-human victims (for example on illegal wildlife trade : Sollund, 2017;and on speciesism: Beirne, 1999). This is a broad paradigm incorporating analyses of causes, effects, responses, representations and prevention of such harm, highlighting among other things how colonial capitalism, resource extraction, carbon generation and consumerism contribute to environmental harms and victimisation (Brisman, 2012;Brisman et al, 2017;Ruggiero & South, 2013a, 2013b.…”

The destructive bushfires in Australia 2019–2020 resonate with similar trends around the world as bushfire seasons are becoming longer and more pervasive. Yet, criminological analyses of bushfires are limited and tend to focus on the individual criminal subject and the act of arson, the crime of intentional fire starting. Encouragingly, green criminology, the criminological perspective dealing with environmental crimes and harms, is expanding the categories of offenders and victims of harm by, for example, highlighting non-human victims and harms perpetrated by the capitalist system. Nonetheless, even this perspective is inadequate to deal with the complex and ultimately mobile events of fire and their far-reaching consequences. This article brings green criminology in flux by drawing from the ‘new mobilities paradigm’, emphasising motion, temporality and the mobility of contemporary life. The new mobilities paradigm, or the ‘mobility turn’, has a lot to offer green criminology as is demonstrated here by way of scrutinising the mobility of fire. A mobile green criminology will help trace fire beyond static categories of offenders and victims and open up for more flexible and mobile categories of environmental harms as constructed, complex and unstable processes. Finally, a mobile analysis allows for a more complex and meaningful reading of criminological space, demonstrated by the relationship between social, aesthetic and cultural values of land, politics, power and fire-related behaviours, such as fire suppression or Aboriginal peoples’ cultural burning practices. It is argued here that in order to understand the complex nature of fire, green criminology must attune to the intersections between fire, space, mobility and meaning.
