Effective Connection between Criminal Law and Administrative Law Protection in Environmental Crimes

Abstract

With the increasing emphasis on ecological environment protection, it has become a consensus of the whole society to use the strictest system and the most rigorous rule of law to protect the ecological environment. Due to its unique severity and deterrence, criminal law is becoming a trend to construct and improve protection for environmental crimes through criminal law. Many countries in the world have environmental crimes in their criminal codes or subsidiary criminal laws, and China is no exception. However, criminal law always relies on administrative law in regulating environmental crimes, and seeking a balance between the application of criminal law and administrative law in order to maximize the environmental protection and punishment functions of criminal law is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. The article analyzes and studies the basic theory of environmental crime and its administrative attributes, pointing out the appropriate mechanism for criminal law intervention in environmental protection, in order to achieve effective connection between administrative law and criminal law in environmental protection issues.
