Introduction -- Part 1: Water Crimes from a Criminological and Policy Perspective -- Water Crimes as part of Environmental Criminology -- Water Protection: Constitutional and Administrative Law Perspectives -- Privatization of Water and the Rule of Law -- Building the Water Crimes Industry -- Water Crimes as a Global Issue -- Part 2: Water Crimes in Practice: Case Studies -- Water Crimes in Italy -- Water Crimes in Spain -- Water Crimes in Slovenia -- Water Pollution from Gold Mines: Acid Mine Drainage in South Africa -- Turning Water into Money: Pirates, Plunder and Privatization of Freshwater -- Dysfunctional Water Treatment Plants in the Garment Industry -- Waste Management and Sewage in South Africa -- Organized Crime Activities and Water -- Conclusion.

This book provides an overview of crimes involving water, including pollution, illegal dumping, and supply chain disruption from a criminological perspective. It examines a multifaceted issue from a comparative policy perspective supplemented with individual case studies to provide insights on the magnitude of the problem as well as possible solutions and policy recommendations. As growing populations and economic sectors continue to put unprecedented pressures on water supplies, the book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the problem in order to ensure the sustainability, long-term viability, and equitable use of this essential resource. The first part of the volume examines criminological and policy perspectives, including an overview of regulatory approaches, privatization of water resources, and the scope of the criminal problem in this area. The second part presents informative case studies from a variety of different regional and social contexts. Finally, the editors present an outlook in policy and enforcement improvements. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology, criminal justice, public policy, and comparative law, as well as those studying environmental regulations and sustainability. Water, Governance, and Crime Issues is a much needed addition to the growing original contributions of green criminology. This volume captures the complex landscape of water crimes, including the numerous disparities and inequalities of there being too much water in some places and too little in others amongst the many complexities. -Dr. Tanya Wyatt, University of Northumbria Water, Governance, and Crime Issues speaks to the scientific relevance of water for (green) criminology as well as the policy implications of water crimes. -Dr. Lieselot Bisschop, Erasmus School of Law.
