REFLECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME IN STATISTICS
Abstract
In this article the scale and dynamics of ecological crimes in the Russian Federation are examined on the basis of the review of national studies and official statistics. Analysis and presentation of study results precede the author’s interpretation of the concept of «ecological crime». The author comments on the progress data that together give a certain idea of the environmental crime statistics. It is shown that the share of environmental crimes in the total number of crimes is growing. Environmental crimes demonstrate high latency and a lack of efficiency when it comes to the ongoing criminal policy. Reasons for the latency of environmental crime are commented on. It is argued that the increase in the scale of environmental crimes, their high latency reflect the ineffectiveness of the current criminal policy.
