Eco-crime presents a serious problem across the globe. In Italy, 35 million tons of garbage are trafficked each year by organized crime families. In some commercial fisheries, approximately 50 percent of the catch is brought to port illegally. Illicit trade in wildlife generates up to $25 billion annually, trailing only drug and arm trafficking in significance.
Donald R. Liddick is associate professor of criminal justice at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, Uniontown, PA.
