Abstract

Today in the twenty-first century we have come towards the shadow of the global digital age and this age has at the same time brought new insights into the looking of the sociological order. The shift in sociology to cope up with things in the sociological literature is also to lean towards the new sociological imaginations. The following paper is a view towards the study of crime in our society, having said taking the locus of the subject on green crimes which is a new form of crime. Secondary literature is used by the researcher to look upon the various nodes on crime and harm. Thus this paper will act as a ladder to fill the gap in knowing the conventional and the progressive modern discourses on sociological literature. Green crimes, however, are the acts that are committed against the law. The conventional definition of crime suggests that any act which is against the law can be said as a crime. But in terms of crimes against nature, an act may be permitted by law and act at the same time induce harm to the ecology, environment, and humans. Thus the kind of dichotomy of crime and harm needs to be looked upon in coping up with the scholarship on crimes and deviance.
