This monograph examines environmental crime and the legal frameworks for environmental protection in eight developing and industrialised countries, with civil law and common law traditions from diverse geographical regions. The authors also discuss sanctioning strategies and enforcement, elaborate proposals for reform and consider the need for legal and policy changes in order to better protect the environment. The focus of the project was on the needs and concerns of participating countries to protect the environment with particular reference to environmental crime and sanctioning strategies, and within the perspective of sustainable development.
This volume contains the project results of a study on "Environmental Crime, Sanctioning Strategies and Sustainable Development". The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), in co-operation with the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) and the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control, affiliated with the United Nations (HEUNI), initiated this study in 1991.
