| Tittel: | Strenge straffer for miljøkriminalitet i Norge | | Ansvar: | Hans Tore Høviskeland | | Forfatter: | Høviskeland, Hans Tore  | | Materialtype: | Artikkel - elektronisk | | Signatur: | Nordisk tidsskrift for kriminalvidenskab | | Utgitt: | København : De nordiske kriminalistforeninger, 2013 | | Omfang: | S. 228-244 | | Serie: | Nordisk tidsskrift for kriminalvidenskab ; 2/2013 | | Innhold: | Environmental crime in Norway is usually divided into two categories: offences against the inner environment (work environment) and the outer environment (pollution, nature and heritage crime). From 1990 until today the sentencing framework has been raised and the threat of punishment intensified with regards to more than 15 crucial environmental laws. In addition, more stringent rules ha-ve been put in place in a number of areas, such as the general clause on en-vironmental crime in the penal code § 152 b, the heritage law, the Svalbard en-vironmental law, the new Planning and Building Act, and the Nature Diversity Act of 19 June 2009. In this article I will look more closely at this development, which gives the overall impression of a branch of jurisprudence that has been, more than usual, the focus of the legislators’ attention. This has been followed up by legal custom and usage, leading to stricter penalties than only a short while ago, for environmental crimes. In this article I will go through the 14 most cru-cial Supreme Court sentences in relation to environmental crime, showing this development from 2001. In several of these sentences the Supreme Court has ex-pressed that environmental legislation has tightened considerably, and this is fol-lowed by legal custom and usage. | | Del av verk: | Nordisk tidsskrift for kriminalvidenskab 2/2013 |
