By means of descriptive and exploratory methods of empirical-phenomenological foundations and secondary quantitative data collected in the archives of the Environmental Police Command of the Rio de Janeiro Military Police and the State Court of Justice, it was noticed the prevalence of the impunity of the offenders and the acceleration of the environmental degradation.
