- Abstract
This work aimed to evaluate which socioeconomic variables show a greater relationship with the commission of environmental crimes in the state of Amapá. Data on occurrences of environmental crimes were extracted from the Electronic Police Procedure Platform (acronym in Portuguese: PPe). The occurrences were analyzed and categorized under Law nº 9.605/98 to determine environmental crimes. A multivariate analysis of principal components was performed to understand the relationship between the data. The results showed cities like Macapá, Vitória do Jari and Porto Grande have a great propensity for the practice of environmental crimes. Crimes against fauna indicated that economic and educational factors significantly influence this type of infraction, in addition to a predisposition to the cultural factor, requiring environmental education to combat this type of crime. Flora-related crimes showed that low-income people tend to act more directly in deforestation. In contrast, those with higher incomes showed a profile focused more on the illegal sale of wood in its already processed form. Environmental infractions about pollution point out that it is mainly practiced by population density, by people with high purchasing power and low levels of education. Keywords: environmental education; environmental legislation; environmental expertise.
