Question One
Environmental crime or harm is related to the law and law enforcement in a variety of
ways. A key relationship between the law and law enforcement and environmental crime is that
it is considered a product of capitalism. Under such a relationship, there exists capital
accumulation, class accumulation, and the commodification. The implication of the relationship
on law enforcement is that it will result in the creation of laws which favor the economy over the
environment (Tombs, 2017 p.3). The other relationship existing between the law enforcement
and environmental harm is on the consideration that the environmental harm is taken into
account as an organized crime and this is according to the brokerage perception. Some of the
organized crimes against the environment include toxic waste dumping, poaching of the
endangered species which is considered as wildlife trafficking.
According to Short (2015 p.86), the effect of such a relationship on law enforcement will
be a creation of laws which aims at reducing such criminal activities. The other example of an
organized crime is the illegal logging which entails cutting down trees without permission
resulting in environmental degradation. The environmental crime is also related to the law and
law enforcement such that the environmental harm is considered a crime against nature and this
is based on the ecosystem perception of the relationship. The implication of the above mentioned
relationship on law and law enforcement is that there will be the establishment of laws which
limits the ecology centrally and not peripherally (Haines, 2014 p.30).

of the non-commercial and non-state actors in the international trade include government. Some
of the fundamental roles entail, the creation of rules and laws which is used in the regulation of
the trading activities in the international market (Picciotto and Mayne, 2016 p.100). Such a move
is referred to as formalization. The other key role of the international activism is based on the
development of free trade agreement among various countries to allow for commercial activities
in the international arena. When there is free trade such that there is free movement of goods,
services, and even labor, there will be a reduction in the rates of crime and harm and this is
because crimes such as monopoly by one particular state will be controlled. There will more than
one particular state supplying a particular product in the market.
The non-commercial and non-actors also plays a key role in reducing crimes and harms
in the international trade by putting more emphasis on the specific harms. They, therefore, ensure
that there are desirable jobs in the market by enhancing the conditions of working in a particular
job compared to the previous job working conditions in the place. Also, under the circumstance
in which there still exist harsh conditions for different jobs, certain improvements are made by
international activism (White, 2017 p.30). Additionally, the international activism often
organizes both local and international protests against the crimes and harms with the aim of
ensuring that their voices on the particular concern are heard so that the matter can be tackled by
the individuals concerned. When such protests are organized, the crimes and harms are typically
reduced and that only happens when appropriate actions are taken against those who are engaged
in the crimes and harms in the international trade. The non-commercial and non-actors in the
international trade also encourages individualism approach. Such an approach aims at ensuring
that everyone involved in the trade is at a position of pursuing their goals which could be to
