This study aims to examine the effect of the intensity of environmental law enforcement on the prevalence of ecological crimes and the level of victim protection in Indonesia, using a quantitative approach based on a green criminology perspective. With a non-experimental correlational design, data were collected using surveys of law enforcement actors and affected communities, as well as secondary documents related to environmental case decisions in several selected provinces (purposive sampling). The main instruments were questionnaires and secondary data analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression. The results show that the intensity of law enforcement has a significant negative effect on the prevalence of ecological crimes and a significant positive effect on indicators of environmental victim protection (p < 0.05). These findings support deterrence theory and reinforce the relevance of the green criminology approach in the context of environmental law enforcement in Indonesia. In practical terms, the results suggest strengthening the environmental criminal law enforcement system, integrating the principles of ecological justice, and restoring both human and environmental victims. This study fills an empirical gap in the Indonesian green criminology literature, but has limitations in terms of design and sample coverage; further research with a longitudinal design and institutional variables as well as community participation is recommended.
