{"product_id":"criminology-and-archaeology-penny-green-9781841139913","title":"Criminology and Archaeology: Studies in Looted Antiquities","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection is the product of a collaborative venture between criminologists and archaeologists concerned with the international market in illicit antiquities. It examines the state of regulation in the antiquities market, with a particular focus on the UK's position, but also with reference to the international context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLooting happens routinely and many countries have rich deposits of cultural material. Antiquities are highly collectable, and there are several prominent international centres for trade. As well as the legitimate face of the antiquities trade there therefore exists an international illicit market in which cultural objects are trafficked for profit in breach of national laws and international conventions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is within such a complex international and local regulatory context that the essays presented here emerge, focusing upon three areas in particular: the demand for looted antiquities; the supply of cultural artefacts which originate in source countries; and regulation of the international market in antiquities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCriminology has long been interested in transnational crime and its regulation. Archaeologists' concerns lie in the destructive consequences of antiquities looting, which erases our knowledge of the past. In the papers 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 antiquities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penny Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841139912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841139913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Penny Green","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001791070463,"sku":"9781841139913","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b305fd86-6368-4793-9438-222680b070eb.jpg?v=1751602152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/criminology-and-archaeology-penny-green-9781841139913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
