Abstract

The paper conceptualises the environment through restorative justice lenses. The analysis departs from the European Landscape Convention and the notion of environment according to the Italian Constitution. The essay then presents the “environment” as a “value” protected by law, using Green Criminology to sustain the idea of environmental crimes as “unaware victim crimes” and considering the role of RJ in letting these victims gain such an awareness thanks to RJ attention to victims’ emotions. The paper later considers environmental crime victims by examining three visions: the vision developed by criminal law; the vision developed by the Theory of Commons and the vision through Restorative Justice lenses.
