Abstract
Background and Aim: Green criminology is the analysis of environmental harms from the perspective of criminology and the use of criminological ideas in environmental issues, and for nearly three decades, it has been studying environmental crimes, the perpetrators of crimes and their motives, the victims of these crimes and how they are victimized, and also about dealing with and preventing these crimes. This study was done with the aim of analyzing the basics of bioethics in the field of green criminology.
Methods: In this analytical study, after a purposeful search and review of sources, the ethical components of green criminology are described.
Ethical Considerations: The norms related to ethics in research as well as fidelity in quoting texts and references of the article have been fully observed.
Results: Analyzing the components of green criminology in terms of the basic of bioethics presented by "Beauchamp" and "Childress" can be considered an effective step in identifying the ethical mission of this emerging field. Adapting the four principles of bioethics, autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice, with the basics of green criminology and the three philosophical approaches of human-centered, bio-centered, and nature-centered has proven the convergence between bioethics and green criminology. The three philosophical approaches of green criminology also have a privileged position in matching with the four principles of bioethics; With the difference that in the human-centered approach, it deals with the criminalization of activities contrary to the freedom and usefulness of humans, and the bio-centered approach introduces humans as one of the animal species and criminalizes the destructive behaviors of different living species, and the nature-centered approach, by expanding the radius of criminalization to activities which is in conflict with the interests of the natural world, including living things such as animals and plants, the earth and the space above it, protects the biosphere.
Conclusion: The analysis of the ethical components of green criminology and its application to the rules of applied ethics shows its importance and benefits in the present time, which while being new, should be considered.
