1	The illegal exploitation of certain marine species as a form of environmental crime in the Western Cape Herbig, Friedo Johann Willem 25 August 2009 (has links) Conservation criminology as a derivative of environmental criminology is considered in this dissertation through a strategic/empirical investigation of the illegal exploitation of a cross-section of certain, essentially fiscally attractive marine resources, as a form of environmental crime in the Western Cape province. Through primarily qualitative and quantitative interviewing techniques, augmented by the application of a survey questionnaire, significant and pragmatic insight was obtained from knowledgeable functionaries. The study elucidates the purview and dynamics of the marine crime phenomenon by focussing specifically on issues such as modus operandi, crime scenes, causation, operational efficacy, and social/biological repercussions. Deficient policing capacity and concomitant lack of deterrence, compounded by institutional limitations, emerge as fundamental proclivities impeding proficient marine resource conservation. It is envisaged that this study will broaden the frontiers of marine crime knowledge, contributing not only to the implementation of effective mitigation programmes but also to enriching the criminological discipline as a whole. / Criminology / M.A. (Criminology) Conservation criminology Marine fishing industry Marine and Coastal Management Fishery control officer Policing effort Illegal/over exploitation Poaching Greed Fiscally attractive marine species Deterrence Resource guardianship Crime attractors Sustainable harvesting Biotic diversity 343.7692068 Environmental law -- Criminal provisions
