RT Article T1 Environmental crime and problem-solving courts JF Crime, law and social change VO 59 IS 3 SP 267 OP 278 A1 White, R. D. 1956- LA English YR 2013 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/185425376X AB Environmental harms are by their nature complex and as such give rise to formal legal responses that range from simple regulatory intervention to multi-faceted court order. The purpose of this paper is to explore the emergence of environmental courts and the development of judicial and tribunal expertise in this specific area. A wide range of sanctions are now available and being actively applied by such bodies. Moreover, in many instances, the philosophical approach adopted by these courts is that of problem-solving. The combination of specialist expertise and innovative methods of intervention are progressively revolutionising judicial practice in regards to contemporary environmental issues.
