This book explores ways in which ideas from America could be used
to improve the effectiveness of environmental laws in Britain and
throughout Europe. It addresses some of the wider issues which help
to decide whether environmental laws are effective or not. The book
considers the political context in which environmental laws are
made,and the implications for long-term public support of them. It
examines the ways in which the law-making processes in Britain and
Europe effectively exclude public participation and offers
suggestions for ways to change these processes, with examples of
American alternatives. It considers the tensions between science -
the foundation for much environmental policy - and public opinion.
Successful implementation of these laws requires both wide public
support and consistent enforcement. Britain has traditionally used
criminal law sanctions to enforce its environmental laws. America
uses the criminal process more selectively but makes much more
effective use of civil and administrative enforcement. The book
also examines some of the highly effective approaches to pollution
prevention being developed in America, and the implications for
environmental regulation of rapidly changing high-technology
industries.
