As of June 2020, there have been at least 2,540 mass shootings since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT, on December 14, 2012. Some have suggested that the repeated trauma of these massacres has created a collective "emotional numbness," lessening our empathy. This article asks whether a similar phenomenon is occurring with respect to environmental crime and harm. It considers whether we have developed "compassion fatigue" regarding environmental violence and contemplates a "workout regimen" for empathy for Gaia's suffering. In so doing, it seeks to engage with emerging work in the penumbra of narrative criminology and green cultural criminology.
截至2020年6月，自2012年12月14日康涅狄格州纽敦市桑迪胡克小学枪击案以来，至少发生了2540起大规模枪击事件。有人认为，这些大屠杀的反复创伤造成了一种集体性的“情感麻木”，削弱了我们的同理心。本文探讨了在环境犯罪和危害方面是否也出现了类似现象。它思考我们是否对环境暴力产生了“同情疲劳”，并设想了一套针对盖亚苦难的同理心“锻炼方案”。在此过程中，它试图与叙事犯罪学和绿色文化犯罪学边缘领域的新兴研究展开对话。
