Abstract

The portrait of legal protection for the environment so far has not been oriented to the needs of the environment itself as a victim. As a result, the responsibility of perpetrators of environmental crimes has not been aimed at recovering the damage caused. This study aims to determine the legal protection against environmental damage from the perspective of green victimology. This research was conducted using a normative juridical approach, with a statutory and conceptual approach. The conclusion of this study is that the legal protection of the environment from the perspective of green victimology seeks to place the environment as a victim. Therefore, it is necessary to base it on two aspects of protection, namely preventive and repressive protection. Preventive protection emphasizes the prevention aspect so that an educational approach is needed, there is a need for a monitoring system for potential activities at the community level, to the reconstruction of criminal law, namely the expansion of the principle of strict liability in environmental crimes and placing recovery as the main criminal sanction. Meanwhile, repressive protection emphasizes efforts to take action against damage through strengthening the synergy of law enforcement officers, which are oriented towards restoring environmental damage.
