Article Abstract:

The 1990s saw the focus of legislative and regulatory initiatives in many nations, on the improved protection of the physical environment. But technological change, globalization and the growing importance of transnational corporations (TNCs) have increased the risk of being affected by environmental crime, but the ability of the TNCs to shield their operations behind the laws of friendly nations, complicates the task of controlling them.

Article Abstract:

Minnesota's guidelines, related sentencing laws and practices have evolved markedly since 1980. Sentencing is coordinated with available correctional resources and the guidelines remain simple to apply, but the sentencing commission's emphasis on punishment by justice is undermined by subsequent appellate case law, legislation and sentencing practices.
