Environmental Justice Crimes

Environmental Justice Crimes refer to illegal actions that disproportionately harm marginalized communities and the environment. This includes activities like illegal dumping of hazardous waste, pollution from factories, or neglecting environmental regulations that affect vulnerable populations. These crimes often occur in areas where residents have limited resources to fight back or seek justice. Environmental Justice Laws aim to protect these communities, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their economic status, has the right to a healthy environment and equal protection under environmental laws. Addressing these crimes is vital for promoting fairness and sustainability.
