Secondary title:	Solving problems related to environmental crime investigations
Secondary abstract:	Purpose: The main purpose of thereto related research work is to provide analyses of state institutions’ actual responses to the environmental crime at crime scenes and to propose solutions for better future work. Design/Methods/Approach: For this purpose, authors apply in-depth target interviews with police officers, prosecutors and judges in order to define appropriate crime scene investigation procedures for recovering the evidence supporting the ensuing procedures in courts. For this reason, these in-depth interviews consist of questions regarding different views on the problems of investigating environmental crime and, in particular, the collection of evidence gathered from a crime scene. Further, crime scene security and safety issues are defined. Findings: The main problem in investigating environmental crimes is that, according to our latest experience, it is generally difficult to collect proper evidence on which to substantiate relevant endicment charges. More specifically, though the circumstances, attributes and consequencess of such crimes may be readily available, the major remaining unresolved issue is usually the identity of the offender(s). In such cases, good cooperation among competent institutions is of crucial importance. The dividing line among the competences or jurisdiction of particular institutions (e.g. the police, forensics, and the inspectorate) is very thin, and it often happens that these have to solve an issue falling under their mutual jurisdiction. Finally, solutions for the future crime scene procedures performed by police and harmonisation of the procedures regarding environmental crime are proposed. Originality/Value: In the first place, the paper analyzes data about problems of investigating environmental crime in Slovenia.
