This book examines the role and practical dynamics of governmental environmental law enforcement agencies and individuals who combat environmental crime. It will inform researchers about the 'real world' experiences of practitioners and provide an intellectual space for practitioners to examine critically what it is they do and why.

'Anyone who is interested in how collaborative networks form and what opportunities they offer will find [this] collection of essays rich and inspiring.' (From the foreword) - Malcolm K. Sparrow, Professor of the Practice of Public Management, Harvard University, USA

'The topic of environmental crime is increasingly seen as significant in policy, enforcement and academic circles. This timely collection aims to help connect these circles and provide a guidebook for practitioners whether experts or those new to the field. The book brings together an impressive range of contributors from environmental law, enforcement and regulation. The clear objective is to enable shared learning, conversations and collaborations increasingly vital endeavours given the cross-border, global challenge of environmental crimes and dangers.' - Nigel South, Director of the Centre for Criminology, University of Essex, UK
