Environmental crime is a global problem and a serious threat primarily to health security. Namely, the citizens’ awareness about the importance of the environment is at a rather low level. Therefore, the paper will deal with the issue of illegal dump sites in the area of the City of Doboj, their causes, consequences, as well as the measures that are to be undertaken with the aim of preventing environmental crimes. The paper will also present potential measures/solutions for the purpose of decreasing the number of illegal dump sites which considerably endanger the basic components of the environment.
