A Visual Approach for Green Criminology: Conclusion: A Possible Way Out [In this chapter, I suggest that visual research in green criminology may help (1) in exploring the silent knowledge of social actors of different social, cultural and ecological contexts; and (2) in bridging cultural and natural worlds, thereby crossing the dichotomous divide between what is natural and what is social.

Abstract

[In this chapter, I suggest that visual research in green criminology may help (1) in exploring the silent knowledge of social actors of different social, cultural and ecological contexts; and (2) in bridging cultural and natural worlds, thereby crossing the dichotomous divide between what is natural and what is social. During this journey towards knowledge and understanding, it is essential to develop not only flexible methods, but also elastic conceptual tools—instruments sensitive enough to capture the vagueness and elusiveness of environmental issues without severely diminishing their multiple dimensions. Taking into account visual dimensions and using photographs as tools of qualitative research represent a precious means of addressing new ways of looking at, seeing and sensing these complex questions, promoting thoughts not yet formulated, new questions and answers.]
