Based on first-hand observation, this book analyzes various approaches to government intervention in the field of environmental control and presents the findings of an empirical project designed to examine the implementation of one such control instrument in the water industry. Particular emphasis is placed on the discretion exercised by enforcement officers and the role played by the criminal sanction.
