TLDR
The authors developed a new culpability-based approach to environmental sentencing and proposed specific reforms to the federal guidelines based on the theoretical model, which they used to develop a new set of guidelines for environmental crimes.Abstract:
The federal sentencing guidelines for environmental crimes reflect an ad hoc, largely incoherent approach to guidelines development. In some cases of minimal culpability, the guidelines recommend sentences far in excess of what seems theoretically justifiable. This article develops a new culpability-based approach to environmental sentencing and proposes specific reforms to the federal guidelines based on the theoretical model.read more

Transnational white-collar crime and risk: Lessons from the global trade in electronic waste
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider similar issues of risk and white-collar crime associated with global transactions in electronic waste (Ewaste) and develop theoretical perspectives and practical interventions to prevent and respond to the global financial crisis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reparative justice, environmental crime and penalties for the powerful
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that reparative justice, with an emphasis on repairing harm within a generally more punitive context, would be more appropriate and effective than "restorative justice" per se.

The Weak Probability of Punishment for Environmental Offenses and Deterrence of Environmental Offenders: A Discussion Based on USEPA Criminal Cases, 1983–2013
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore whether those deterrent effects appear plausible by estimating the probability of a USEPA criminal case occurring each year between 1983 through 2013, finding that there is an extremely low probability of an environmental crime case being prosecuted criminally by USEPA, casting doubt that these criminal cases are sufficiently widespread to generate a deterrent effect.

How real is the threat of imprisonment for environmental crime
Carole Billiet,Sandra Rousseau +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether prison sentences for environmental crime are indeed used in practice, how they are used and whether they imply a real threat to violators, and examine previous studies on the role of imprisonment and confront these models with empirical data.
Journal ArticleDOI
