| Innhold: | It is not self evident that also criminal political means shall be used in the actions which have the aim to realize a sustainable environmental development. It is not so easy to carry out all the measures, which in general are considered to be cru-cial and necessary in an active and efficient environmental policy with simulta-neous respect for the basic principles of penal law. Despite of this the necessity to have also a rational and efficient environmental criminal law is strongly empha-sized. The article describes the penal provisions and sanctions included in the Swedish Environmental Law and the enforcement of these provisions. The Swedish government and the relevant Swedish authorities have repeatedly ex-pressed the opinion that the control of the environmental criminality shall be a prioritized task not only for the environmental administration but also for the po-lice authorities, the prosecutors and the crime controlling authorities in general. What has been stressed is that the preventive work must be more efficient, that the risk for detection of a committed environmental offence must be higher. The pretrial investigation must be ameliorated and the criminal procedure in general must be more efficient. The conclusion is that Swedish legislation on environmental crimes is – also in an international comparison- quite advanced. But despite of this there are still also good reasons for criticism. |
