Environmental crime as a manifestation of economic crime according to Algerian law

Abstract EN

Environmental crime is one of the most recent newly emerging crimes, the scope of which has widened because of its rapid spread and its negative effects on both the environment and human life.

Environmental crime has been adapted from economic crimes, because if we take the principle of the economy's association with money, and the philosophy of saying that every degradation in the balance of money is an economic crime, causing any disruption of the environment by polluting it must be matched by a balance of the money, so we can adapt the crime of environmental pollution.

As an economic crime, having repercussions and negative effects on the national economy.
