In recent decades, "green criminology" has emerged as a critical approach for examining environmental harm; however, it still faces a theoretical gap regarding the explanation of the internal mechanisms that drive ecological destruction. Environmental crime represents one of the complex challenges of the current century; beyond structural and economic factors, it is deeply intertwined with human behavior. While green criminology—as a novel approach—focuses on ecosystem damage, there remains a need to elucidate the "psychological mechanisms" underlying such destruction. This research aims to examine the psychological factors influencing environmentally destructive behaviors and to analyze the role of safety-related behavioral components in preventing ecological crimes. The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach. It emphasizes that controlling environmental crime requires shifting away from purely punitive-legal strategies toward approaches focused on "behavioral change" and the "promotion of a safety culture." Integrating psychological variables into environmental policy-making not only reduces human error but also steers the mindset of potential offenders away from destructive actions and toward responsible behavior.
