Comparison Of Effectiveness Of Criminal Sanctions And Administrative Sanctions In Environmental Law Enforcement Policy

Abstract

The effectiveness of criminal sanctions in environmental law enforcement according to the author is still very ineffective compared to administrative sanctions, because administrative sanctions aim to restore environmental functions or repair environmental damage, and will be more effective if administrative sanctions are imposed, while the purpose of criminal sanctions is not to restore the function of the environment, but only to create a deterrent effect and Only for individual legal subjects, because in fact criminal sanctions in environmental law are felt to be very far away in punishing corporations as subjects of environmental crimes, so it is more effective if administrative sanctions are applied in environmental enforcement.
