<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"With a foreword from Mark Harrison FSA, National Policing and Crime Advisor, English Heritage and Honorary Research Fellow, University of Kent, UK. Heritage crime is an area of growing interest for scholars, but also for enforcement agencies and heritage managers, as well as the communities affected. Whether it is the looting of cultural objects, theft of lead from churches, or vandalism of historic monuments, this timely collection brings together debate and international examples to demonstrate the diversity but also commonality of heritage crime across the globe. With international contributions from archaeology, criminology, law, heritage management and policing, the volume presents case studies from countries as diverse as Peru, the UK, South Africa and Cyprus. At a time when government agencies and media around the world are increasingly taking note of the implications of criminal activity for cultural heritage, this collection is the first to address the heritage crime problem in such an in-depth and holistic manner. "--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Bringing together leading academics and practitioners from across the globe, this unique collection explores the emerging field of heritage crime studies. Moving beyond the traditional focus on illicit antiquities, the volume identifies the diversity of crimes that affect heritage and outlines various approaches to prevention. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bernadine Benson, University of South Africa, South Africa Henri Fouché, University of South Africa, South Africa Sam Hardy, University College London, UK Vesa Laulumaa, National Board of Antiquities, Finland Sergiu Mustea, Ion Creang?
