CHARACTERISTICS OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENCES IN ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION ACCORDING TO JUDICIAL PRACTICE

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this work is to study the content of administrative violations in the field of ecology. For the first time, a study of statistics of environmental violations on the example of the Republic of Karelia allowed us to define the main characteristic features of this type of offense. The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that in the last five years the Republic has seen the rise in the number of registered environmental administrative violations. The offences are massive and, according to the data, are performed 35 times more often than environmental crimes. In terms of the inflicted harm these offences are comparable to the damage caused by envi-ronmental crimes. The results of the study run as the following: the main violators of environmental legislation are individuals (70 % of all offenders), much less are legal bodies (25 %) and administrative officials (5 %); wrongful conduct of individuals is expressed most often in the form of poaching — up to 60 % of all violations. The greatest number of environmental administrative violations, occurring in the areas of Karelian Republic, is registered on the territories with the high level of unemployment. (Muezerskiy, Belo-morskiy, Suojarvskiy and Pudozhskiy regions). The lowest level of legal violations is characteristic of the areas with prevailing urban population and high levels of employment (Petrozavodsk, Kondopoga, Kostomuksha, Kem and Segezha).
