On Linking Administrative Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice in Environmental Management

Abstract

Linking administrative law enforcement and criminal justice in environmental management promotes the cooperation between environmental administrative law enforcement departments and criminal justice institutions in combating environmental crimes and ensuring environmental safety. Problems arise in their joint efforts in combating environmental crimes in recent years, such as low case-transfer rate, unclear transfer criteria, difficulty in evidence conversion and test identification, as well as unavailability to network information-sharing platforms. It is imperative to build up evaluation system, standardize case transfer criteria, clarify evidence conversion rules, and establish network information-sharing platforms. Only in this way can the two laws converge effectively, and a harmonious environmental management order be maintained.
