De aanpak van milieucriminaliteit in Nederland: Lessen van de afgelopen decennia. (Dutch/Flemish)

Tackling environmental crime in the Netherlands. Lessons learned from the last decades: How is it possible that large industrial facilities sometimes cause pollution and nuisance for decades without any effective action being taken? In this contribution, this question is being answered by analyzing the historical development of the enforcement of environmental crimes in the Netherlands. Three elements play a role: the fragmentation of supervision, the information asymmetry between businesses and the government, and the interconnection with legitimate business activities.
