This article outlines the significance of green issues for criminology. It proposes the development of a green `perspective' which could serve as a rallying-point and foundational base for otherwise disparate but relevant and related work. The paper reviews past studies which may be seen as contributing to such a foundational base and provisionally suggests 10 areas where green issues connect with established and/or new criminological concerns.
