Abstract
The environmental decade has been described as long on symbolic response to pollution and short on effective controls. A concomitant view is that environmental laws are so legislated and so administered that meaningful compliance is rare. Statistics on noncompliance (Chapters 1 and 2) and arguments against strategies for getting compliance (Chapter 3) generate negative views of the efficacy of environmental law.
