It addresses some of the wider issues which help to decide whether environmental laws are effective or not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book considers the political context in which environmental laws are made,and the implications for long-term public support of them.  It examines the ways in which the law-making processes in Britain and Europe effectively exclude public participation and offers suggestions for ways to change these processes, with examples of American alternatives. It considers the tensions between science - the foundation for much environmental policy - and public opinion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuccessful implementation of these laws requires both wide public support and consistent enforcement. Britain has traditionally used criminal law sanctions to enforce its environmental laws. America uses the criminal process more selectively but makes much more effective use of civil and administrative enforcement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also examines some of the highly effective approaches to pollution prevention being developed in America, and the implications for environmental regulation of rapidly changing high-technology industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWilliam Wilson is an expert environmental and energy lawyer, with 25  years experience, in government, consultancy and private practice, of  preparing, negotiating and drafting primary, secondary, regional and  international legislation, working across government with multiple  stakeholders.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 January 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781901362794\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.52\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515323416716,"sku":"9781901362794","price":121.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_6bfb9e64-a69a-43ae-b9d5-39da2d5519d3.jpg?v=1784692068","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781901362794","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
