Abstract | Green crimes are violations of environmental laws that aim to protect human well-being, natural resources, and ecosystems. Brazil has recorded an increase in green crimes in recent years. In this study, we used Spatial Durbin and other regression models to analyze the relationship between land use and green crime. We test whether there is a positive association between green crimes and the following land uses: urban edge areas, rural edge areas, and mixed urban uses. The results show that green crimes are spatially related to areas of high contact and exposure between human activity and the natural environment (urban and rural mixed uses), but that human presence by itself (presence of industrial activity) is not particularly associated with the occurrence of green crimes. These findings can serve to design and deploy data-driven policies and policing of green crimes. |
