Dr. Stephan Sina, Senior Fellow at Ecologic Institute, gave a presentation on environmental criminal law at the KKF Transfer Talk on Environmental Crime. He gave an overview of statistical developments, structural peculiarities of environmental criminal law, challenges in prosecution and the ongoing amendment of the EU's Environmental Crime Directive.

The transfer talks of the Criminological Research Centre (KKF) of the NRW State Criminal Police Office serve to transfer demand-oriented expert knowledge and scientific findings to the NRW police. Two further lectures from practice and science were dedicated to environmental crime from a police and criminological perspective respectively. More than 65 people took part in the online event, which ended with a discussion round.
