Art and cultural crime is not simply focused on museums or private displays, the loss of art directly affects our cultural identity and history. Napoleon moved from one region to the next collecting art and sending as much as possible back to France. The Nazis looted cultural property from every territory they occupied. And there have been various cases of ISIL and ISIS destroying archaeological sites as a method of destroying any evidence of past culture or history that disagree with their own.
With the United States being the largest market for both legal and illicit artwork in the world more preventative attention from law enforcement and security is needed for our country to meet international standards and end detrimental art crimes. In Stealing History, Colleen Clarke and Eli J. Szydlo look at the history behind art crime, how these crimes have grown over the last half century, and what law enforcement has been involved in protecting the world from these crimes.
Industry Reviews
Stealing History: A Deeper Understanding to Art and Cultural Crimes is an excellent read. This book is concise and yet rich with material covering an under-addressed area of criminal justice studies-crimes relating to art and culture. Consequently, the book fills an important void in the literature. The book is well-written and well-sourced and would make an excellent primary or supplemental text in any number of criminology and law enforcement courses. -- Jeff Bumgarner, Department Head and Professor of Criminal Justice and Political Science, North Dakota State University
