Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present evidences for the role of private agents (environmental NGOs and Communities) to combat crimes against the environment in Brazil. Gary Becker's theoretical crime model, as in Crime and Punishment: an economic approach, published in 1968, is presented considering the environmental case. In the empirical model it is tested whether private stakeholders negatively impact the environmental crime supply. As for the empirical methodology, panel data is used for environmental violations registered by Ibama in the Brazilian states for the years 2006 and 2007. The empirical results confirm that private agents help to mitigate the environmental crimes in Brazil.
