Summary/Abstract: Environmental crime is a relatively recent phenomenon in the contemporary world and it is a great danger to safety of people, other living beings and environmental resources that the planet Earth disposes of. The problems of prevention and control of environmental crime in the Republic of Serbia have existed and lasted for a very long period of time. This form of the criminal violence i.e. criminal offences in the recent history has become one of the most dangerous ever increasing and spreading forms of crime. However, this form of crime puts at risk and pollutes the environment through various forms of criminal offences. Legislation and legal regulations have not met the expected results since they have not completely stipulated this phenomenon, and hence the security authorities are not fully active. Besides being legally unsolved,this problem also occurs since the existing legislation is not observed, and the judicial and security authorities do not dispose of adequate mechanisms for prevention and control of this phenomenon.
