What is Beyond wildlife crime: Towards the concept of ‘mundane fauna crime’ about?
Research and theorisation on crimes against non-human species in rural regions have been conducted with less conceptual refinement than crimes against anthropocentric victims. The dominant conception of 'wildlife crime' predominantly advanced by the rational choice school of criminology is a nebulous 'chaotic concept'. This article disaggregates crimes against common and relatively abundant species from that capacious categorisation and offers the original concept of 'mundane fauna crime' as a more precise alternative. The original concept aims to supersede the wildlife crime terminology using realist social relations theory and to offer researchers a rational abstraction to advance aetiological explanations. The additional category of 'illegal taking' is offered to complement the central conceptualisation, thus supplanting the terms of 'wildlife poaching'. The new model is intended to contribute to the advancement of comprehensive theorisation and practically adequate knowledge on mundane fauna crimes in rural regions.
