Introduction to Criminology and Archaeology: Studies in Looted Antiquities
Mackenzie, S. and Green, P. (2009) ‘Introduction’, in Mackenzie, S. and Green, P. (eds.) Criminology and Archaeology: Studies in Looted Antiquities. Oxford: Hart.
This collection is the product of a collaborative venture between criminologists and archaeologists concerned with the international market in illicit antiquities. Criminology has long been interested in transnational crime and its regulation; archaeology in the pedagogical consequences of antiquities looting. In the chapters presented here both disciplines present new data and analysis to forge a more coherent understanding of the nature and failings of the regulatory framework currently in place to combat the criminal market in looted antiquities.
