Sinopsis

This book provides a criticalástudy of environmental regulation and its enforcement in New Zealand, situated within green criminology. It seeks toáaddress the question of whether the offences in the Resource Management Act 1991 are âÇÖworkingâÇÖ, byádrawing on a range of sources including:ácentral government data, localágovernment policies and reports on enforcement, information requests ofácouncils, studies of local authority enforcement behaviour and case law to.áThrougháhighly layered and richly textured analysis, the project exposes the problems that can ariseáwhen an expansive approach is taken to offences, penalties and institutionaláarrangements in an environmental regulatory statute. It emphasizes how discussions of harm and what should be unlawful will ensure that law-makersâÇÖ enforcement tools will align with their goals for punishment.áItáexamines higher-level issues such as âÇÖwrongfulnessâÇÖ and âÇÖcriminalityâÇÖ in the environmental regulatory contextáandáexplores the relevance of its findings to jurisdictions outside of New Zealand.áIt also discussesáthe pros and cons of criminalisation and punishment versus restoration. It speaks to those interested in green criminology,áregulatory compliance and enforcement, and applications of criminal law.
