Environmental harms associated with pollution of the air, land, and water kill and injure more people than street crime on an annual and daily basis. Financially, the losses associated with environmental damage are enormous. Environmental Law, Crime, and Justice addresses these issues through providing an introduction to the study of environmental issues pertinent to the study of environmental crime, contemporary environmental law, environmental policy, and environmental justice. This book blends together areas that are often treated or studied individually or in isolation from one another. Designed for classroom use, Environmental Law, Crime, and Justice exposes readers to the variety of issues involved in the study of environmental law, crime and justice; illustrates the serious nature of these problems; and demonstrates how readers can and should become involved in studying environmental crime, law, and crime."--BOOK JACKET.

Cleanup efforts at NPL sites are expensive and can take many years. To fund program activities, a trust fund was financed by taxes on crude oil and certain chemicals, as well as an environ. tax assessed on corp. This report examines the: (1) sources of funding for the Superfund trust fund; and (2) allocation of these resources to Superfund program activities. Illustrations.
