Beskrivelse
Summary:The purpose of this study is to reflect on the contribution of criminology education studies in Mexico to address current socio-environmental crimes and damages. To achieve this objective, first a documentary review of educative, theoretical and methodological contributionsthat criminology has made in the study of environmental crimes will be carried out, in addition the programs of the universities that teach the degree in Criminology were reviewed considering the following key concepts: nature and environment, ecology, sustainable development, bioethics and environmental sciences. In the review, two main results were found: 8.3% of the universities that offer a degree in Criminology include in their curriculum some topic on socio-environmental problems but there was no subject on environmental crimes as a unit of study. It is concluded that the study and analysis of environmental crimes is still a pending task in the professional training of criminologists in Mexico, so we propose a thematic content for a subject matter on Green Criminology for the training of these professionals.
