Open coding and qualitative content analysis revealed that participants used the following criteria to define both environmental crime and environmental injustice: illegality, intentionality, harm and safety, and unfairness. These findings have important implications for studies of environmental crime and environmental injustice. In the context of the Chem-Dyne Superfund site, (1) lay victims’ conceptions of environmental crime and environmental justice are multidimensional concepts; (2) lay conceptions of environmental crime and environmental injustice are mostly anthropocentric; (3) there is significant conceptual overlap between environmental crime and environmental injustice in lay victim accounts; and (4) lay victims’ conceptions of environmental crime and environmental injustice are both similar to, yet distinct from, official definitions. 2019-11-24 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1574617989541304 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1574617989541304 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
