1. One of the critiques of the IAT is that individuals’ actions may not directly track with their implicit biases. For instance, someone may have implicit biases, and yet may still work hard to address racial disparities in society and break down structural barriers, while someone that does not have implicit biases may act in ways that exacerbate racial disparities (for instance, by defending practices that contribute to racial disparities, such as defending housing zoning laws, local funding of schools, etc). If that’s the case, should we even care about implicit bias? Why or why not?

2.  Environmental white-collar crimes include illegal dumping and harmful destruction of property and wildlife. How do these crimes affect the environment?

3. If you were an employee of the Environmental Protection Agency, what actions would you take to make the environment cleaner? 

4. What are illegal emissions? Explain. 

5. Imagine the world 20 years from now. What do you think environmental crime would look like at that time, and why?
