Abstract

The commission of the corporate environmental crime is on the rise in Malaysia. This may be due to the existing legal system which stipulates minimal punishments and results in crime repetition. This study adopted a qualitative method through doctrinal legal research given the crucial need to assess and benefit from the prevailing implementation of deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in another jurisdiction. This study aims to explore the suitability of DPA as an alternative tool to deter corporate environmental crime in Malaysia. Findings from the study demonstrated that DPA could effectively prevent corporate environmental crime in Malaysia.
