Details

This book offers the first comprehensive study of heritage crime in rural contexts, focusing on a broad range of international case studies. From vandalism and illegal treasure-seeking to the erosion of cultural traditions, it examines both legally defined crimes and broader harms to tangible and intangible heritage.

Taking a harm-based approach, the book challenges narrow definitions of heritage and crime, highlighting impacts on communities and environments. It interrogates the concept of ‘rural’, considers policing successes and failures, and calls for urgent action to protect diverse heritage.
