Résumé
"This study reviews attacks related to eco-terrorism from 1970 to 2012, and examines the intervention effects of legislation on subsequent attacks in Canada, the United States, and Japan. Results from legal analysis identify important legislation targeting regulations on environmental and animal rights protection issues, and terrorism in general. Additionally, highly visible, impactful legal cases were also included within this examination."--Includes text from Summary.
