dc.description.abstract Inadequate government regulation of for-profit corporate water extraction is a significant issue in Canada but lacks scholarly research, notably in the field of criminology. The thesis aims to examine and critically analyze, from a green criminological perspective, issues associated with groundwater extraction in Canada for the commercial production of bottled water. Specifically, the research examines the extent to which for-profit corporate water extraction in Canada constitutes a green crime. Focusing on an exploration of the issues surrounding the Nestlé bottled water plant in Ontario, this thesis explores how notions of green crimes and green harms regarding corporate water extraction are conceptualized by four parties involved in the case study (i.e., the state, Nestlé Waters Canada, non-governmental organizations, and the local community). Based on definitions founded on a mixture green criminological literature and the findings from this case study, it is suggested that corporate water extraction should constitute a green crime. en_CA
