Criminal liability in environmental protection

The name and the central topic of this thesis is "Criminal Liability in Environmental Protection" and it is divided into two main parts. Firstly, it is an analysis and a description of a valid legal regulatory framework of criminal liability in environmental matters within the Czech legal system with a full description of each of the offences against environment under the new Criminal Code, Act N. 40/2009 Coll., as amended. The focus of the second part is on the international illegal trade in wildlife and the problems of enforcement. First chapter of this part is dedicated to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. In the second chapter I focus primarily on the problems of enforcement, which remain even though wildlife crime (and environmental crime in general) seems to benefit from an increasing profile amongst agencies tasked with its control. The last chapter of this part aims to explain the term "Situational Crime Prevention"
