Environmental crimes are primarily driven by financial motives. The
combined financial value of illicit trade in protected wildlife,
illegal logging and waste trafficking is estimated to come directly
after counterfeiting, the narcotic drugs trade and illegal
gambling. Logically, the proceeds of these crimes must also be
laundered. Goods, however, are not the only money maker for
environmental criminals. Corporations may also try to 'save' costs
by not complying with environmental regulations and thus commit
crimes of omission rather than commission. From an enforcement and
compliance perspective focusing on the proceeds of crime may
therefore be an effective strategy. This book brings together
different perspectives on the financial aspects of environmental
crime and harm from a green criminological viewpoint. It addresses
the role of economic systems, the value of environmental
performance for corporations, money laundering in the context of
environmental crime, financial investigation and questions of
regulation and penalties. Discussing these topics from the view of
green criminology, sociology and governance, this book will be of
great interest to all those concerned about the financial
dimensions of crime and the environment.
