Expanding criminology: Integrating environmental harm into discourse and practice.
Environmental harm encompasses actions that have detrimental effects on the welfare of humans and other species, though not classified as criminal acts.

Empowering Special Education: Fostering Environmental Education, Nature Awareness, and Sustainable Practices.
This chapter explores the pivotal role of special education in promoting environmental education, fostering heightened nature awareness, and integrating sustainable practices.
