Policing Wildlife: The Nature of Wildlife Crime in the UK and its Public Policy Response

This research will provide a major contribution to green criminological research on wildlife crime and will be the first comprehensive review of UK wildlife law and enforcement responses since the Law Commission’s 2014 legislative review and work on wildlife crime enforcement published by Nurse (2015) and Wyatt (2013). This project has been commissioned by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) to provide the evidentiary basis for NGO review of UK wildlife crime policy and campaigning for better wildlife protection. It is being carried out by independent researchers from Nottingham Trent University and the University of Gloucestershire.
