Description

Criminology and Archaeology Studies in Looted Antiquities explores the complex international and local regulatory context of the antiquities market. The book examines the state of regulation, focusing on the UK's position and the international context, to understand the nature and failings of the current framework for combating the criminal market in antiquities.

The essays presented here shed new light on the demand for looted antiquities, the supply of cultural artefacts, and the regulation of the international market in antiquities. By combining the perspectives of criminologists and archaeologists, the authors aim to forge a more coherent understanding of the issue.

Through their analysis, the authors highlight the destructive consequences of antiquities looting, which erases our knowledge of the past. This book provides a valuable contribution to the discussion on the regulation of transnational crime and the preservation of cultural heritage.
