Critical Acclaim
‘Advanced Introduction to Environmental Compliance and Enforcement provides both accessible and comprehensive coverage of modern environmental compliance and enforcement issues. Paddock skilfully weaves together foundational and advanced insights to make an important contribution to our understandings of many novel compliance and enforcement challenges, including program design, optimising mixes of tools and parties, citizen science and monitoring, and private governance. This book will be of great interest to governments, policy makers, students and academics.’
– Cameron Holley, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

‘As the former Chief of Environmental Enforcement, Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD), US Department of Justice, I have had the occasion to review a number of books about environmental compliance and enforcement. This book by Lee Paddock is the best, and reflects his considerable knowledge born of years of experience as a State Assistant Attorney General, and as a Professor and Dean at two leading law schools. His book covers all the basics, but adds new developments including citizen science and monitoring, private governance, and both civil and criminal enforcement.’
– John C. Cruden, former Assistant Attorney General, ENRD

‘Lee Paddock''s Advanced Introduction accomplishes a major feat: it brings together the full range of constantly evolving environmental enforcement challenges into a set of clear explanations and feasible recommendations. Its well-organized chapters untangle enforcement’s overlapping dimensions, from inspection and judicial procedures to private management and international supply lines, and examines each in a systematic, informed, and applicable way. This book is an essential foundation for anyone studying environmental law and an invaluable reference for anyone working in the field.’
– Mark Ungar, Graduate Center, CUNY, US

‘Paddock’s comprehensive overview uses examples from around the world to illustrate environmental compliance and enforcement challenges and opportunities. The book blends theory and practice in discussing foundational matters such as enforcement strategies, tools, and mechanisms. It also explores innovations in citizen enforcement, the relationship between enforcement and environmental justice, and the role of private environmental governance. This book will be an essential resource for anyone interested in environmental enforcement, from the uninitiated to the most experienced practitioners, policymakers, and academics.’
– Robert Glicksman, George Washington University Law School, US
