The behaviour of the majority of people towards the environment coincides with the Rational Polluter Theory that was among the first presented by Emery and Watson (2004). The theory states that offenders weigh the 'benefits (e.g. profit) and costs (e.g. fines)' of the committed act of pollution, and in the era of economic crisis, the profit is in a relation human - environment even more often put at the forefront. Faced with the economic crisis, the authors addressed the question of whether the lack of financial resources has an impact on the growth of individual environmental crime acts in Slovenia for the reason to obtain the financial resources, on the basis of environmental crime trend analysis in Slovenia during the period 2000 to 2012, and conducted interviews with representatives of social control agencies and hunters. Findings show both a positive as well as a negative impact of the economic crisis on the movements and trends in environmental crime. Adapted from the source document.
