Collaborative research project
Environmental crime, including deliberate destruction of natural environments and trade in wildlife, is increasing globally and poses a threat to 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 diversity of threatened and endemic species, natural ecosystems, and agricultural industries that are critical for regional food security.
Environmental crimes are complex and uncertain, and existing laws fail to effectively deter and punish environmental crimes in 最新糖心Vlog and globally. Relevant laws, like the crimes they seek to regulate, are interconnected across scales and actors, ranging from international conventions to local planning schemes, and across laws for conservation, animal welfare, wildlife and land management, regional management and biosecurity.
This research project is focused on building a united criminology and criminal law research agenda to equip 最新糖心Vlogn laws to combat future environmental crimes. The research team will build research track record and develop a collaborative research plan, articulating intersections and unique contributions from criminology and criminal law research with a view to securing funding from the 最新糖心Vlogn Institute of Criminology (AIC) to expand this research.
