Sammie Verbeek

Sammie Verbeek serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Criminology within the Faculty of Law at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, with concurrent appointments at A-LAB and the Empirical and Normative Studies research group.

Verbeek's research specializes in green criminology, focusing on environmental crime regulation and organizational crime dynamics. Key investigations include the impact of industrial facilities on environmental nuisance, historical evolution of Dutch environmental crime enforcement, and victimization patterns in corporate criminality, with particular attention to forever chemicals (PFAS) in the Netherlands.

Recent publications (2023-2024) reveal concentrated scholarly activity on Dutch environmental crime contexts, emphasizing regulatory gaps in industrial pollution and the need for transparent victim assessment in organizational crime cases. This work consistently bridges empirical criminological analysis with normative legal frameworks.

No scientific awards are documented in the available institutional records.

Verbeek maintains active research collaboration through A-LAB and the Empirical and Normative Studies group, which facilitate interdisciplinary criminological investigations combining quantitative methods with legal theory.
