Abstract

This introductory essay provides a reflection on the historical configuration of law and its relationship with nature's exploitation. In doing so, it seeks to highlight the epistemic foundations surrounding the criminalization of social protest in today’s globalized world. The essay revolves around the question of why the law has historically disregarded both environmental and social harm. Finally, the discussion concludes by suggesting a paradigm shift in the fields of criminology and legal theory.

El ensayo intenta entender por qué el derecho ha excluido históricamente el daño social y ambiental. Finalmente, el análisis concluye sugiriendo un cambio paradigmático en criminología y teoría jurídica.
