FLORES-GUTIERREZ, José et al. Multivariate characterization and mapping of the profiles of environmental offenders: The case of Barinas, Venezuela. Acta univ [online]. 2020, vol.30, e2317.  Epub 26-Mar-2021. ISSN 2007-9621.  https://doi.org/10.15174/au.2020.2317.

A multivariate characterization and subsequent cartography of the profiles of a sample of 164 environmental criminals of the Barinas state, Venezuela, was carried out, based on information coming from the sentences published by the courts of this state, during the 2005-2014 period. To develop the profiles, the two-stage cluster analysis was used. The multivariate sociodemographic profiling showed four types of ecological offenders: 1) Mixed group (men and women); 2) Young group, which is the largest with 43.5% of individuals in the sample; 3) Group of married; and 4) Group of foreigners, which is the lowest (12.9%). The other result shows that the commission of environmental crimes presents a marked geospatial dependence since they tend to be concentrated on the central and southwestern municipalities of the state.

Palabras llave : Environmental crime; crime; profile; two-stage cluster; geospatial.
