The concept of wildlife criminology reaches new boundaries in this illuminating new study of exploitation of animals and its social implications. Reviewing harms like exploitation and trade, blood sports and wildlife as food, it considers the rights of animals as sentient beings and the impact of crimes on inter-human attitudes and violence.

Focusing on wildlife trafficking, this book offers an in-depth criminological analysis of its global scale, threats, and driving factors. It updates the discussion with new statistics and examples post-2013, including the impacts of COVID-19 and shifts in trafficking hotspots. The text examines the roles of victims, offenders, and stakeholders in combating this environmental crime while addressing the security implications and potential strategies for intervention. It serves as a valuable resource for scientists, law enforcement, NGOs, and policymakers.

Advances in exercise science show that gentle training tailored to an individual's needs and capabilities is the best prescription for lasting fitness. This book sets out an easy, straightforward plan to integrate exercise and fitness into even the busiest schedule.

Stretching, an important component of health, wellbeing and fitness, can be supplementary to many other forms of exercise. It can enhance performance, reduce post exercise muscle soreness and may even reduce the incidence of injury and the negative effects of ageing and a sedentary lifestyle.
