Extract

The main function of the criminal law, as a means of protecting the environment, is to reach impartial decisions based on the merits of each case. Environmental law is primarily concerned with human activity and the principal method which is used to regulate these activities is the Command and Control regulatory regime. In addition, each regulatory regime is supported, to a great extent, by criminal law offences. These offences are mainly summary, indictable and "both way" offences and the most serious tend to be related to pollution. Furthermore, they are predominantly offences of Strict Liability. The maximum penalty in the Crown Court is 5 years imprisonment and unlimited fines, and in the Magistrates' Court it is 6 months imprisonment and a £20,000 fine. These offences are, on the whole, inchoate offences and there is no need to prove damage to, or even with, the environment.
The criminal law has been used either to grant direct criminal punishment for environmental harm, or in a supplementary role within a regulatory system. However, it seems to be more effective in its supplementary role.
