Abstract
The environmental crimes program has become an established part of our environmental protection effort. It exists at all levels of government, federal, state, and local. But how do we describe its evolution? There are a number of ways in which this can be done. One, of course, would be to track the case statistics and trends through the years. Another—which is the approach of this essay—would be to focus less upon the cases, as such, and more upon the background developments and issues that have characterized the federal program over time. A pattern emerges in which each successive decade has been dominated by its own set of developments and issues. Although, predictably, there are some chronological overlaps, a review by successive ten-year segments does tell a story of the program’s evolution.
