More about the book
Focusing on environmental crime, this book examines the motivations and opportunities behind deviant behavior through the lens of convenience theory. It highlights the case study of Tjøme, Norway, where affluent individuals exploited building permits in protected zones. The investigation, aided by whistleblowers, reveals the complexities involving corrupt officials, architects, and attorneys. Additionally, it analyzes the Vest Tank toxic waste incident, where key executives faced prison time, offering a rare perspective on accountability in environmental offenses. Case studies from Norway complement familiar examples from the USA.
