Environmental Crimes and the Federal Employee: Environmental Compliance is Part of the Mission
Abstract
This thesis analyzes the liability of federal employees to environmental criminal prosecutions. Environmental crimes impose criminal liability under unique legal theories that erode traditional bases of liability. Federal supremacy and sovereign immunity protect federal employees in most instances from state criminal prosecution. However, federal employees must make environmental compliance a part of their mission to ensure that they avoid prosecution for environmental crimes.
