Watch episode 2 of the Netflix series Coronavirus Explained (entitle The Pandemic)(2020). The paper should be around 700 words.
After watching the episode, you must analyze it from the perspectives of Green Criminology and the treadmill of production (Lynch, et al., 2018), Environmental Crimes (Barak 2017) and Disaster Capitalism (Klein, 2020).
It’s important that you use and quote the readings. However, it’s also important that you do not summarize the texts or the episodes in the essay (summarizing is not analyzing). The paper should focus on reflecting on how this episode can help us to understand the COVID-19 Pandemic from a criminological perspective, and to connect theory and practices.
Among others, the following questions can help you write your reflection essay:
What is green criminology? What is the treadmill of production and how it contributes to the COVID-19 pandemic? What is the relationship between environmental crimes and corporate crimes? How are environmental crimes represented in the episode? How does the neoliberalism and sate-corporate crimes can help us better understand the current pandemic? What are some of the possible alternative solution to the pandemic?
