El daño ecológico en la costa gallega por el vertido del Prestige a la luz de la Ecocriminologíaecosistema como víctima.

Abstract

The ecological disaster of the Prestige spill generated great controversy at a social level and from a legal and criminological point of view. After two decades of that event, it is intended to analyze the ecological damage generated from ecocriminology, a green perspective that analyzes environmental damage using different areas of knowledge and counting on scientific methodologies such as Ecology. From this starting point, the facts proven in the sentences handed down by the different jurisdictional bodies are analyzed from the conception of environmental crime, taking into account the duality between criminal law and green criminology or ecocriminology itself. This is done in order to detect those issues that can be conceived as injustice based on what is known as ecological justice, a position used in ecocriminology and also in green victimology that will help us to propose a formulation of victims and actors in this event. Likewise, new approaches are incorporated to take into account the restorative practices aimed at responding to these environmental and ecological damage generated through new formulas currently used.
