TI - The Criminal Threat to Cultural Heritage
	in Poland – An Analysis of the Events of 2015
AB - 
	An analysis of the phenomenon of crimes against cultural heritage may apply various methods for diagnosing the level of actual threats. Arguably, annual studies of examples of crimes involving cultural object(s) allow for the evaluation of tendencies within perpetrators’ actions, and may also help to devise methods to counteract future incidents. Many years of research into crimes against cultural heritage facilitate, in a complimentary way, measuring the level of threat caused by such actions and to minimise the risk of their occurrence. This article is a continuation of the annual cycle of articles published by the “Santander Art and Culture Law Review” aimed at a systematic presentation of the phenomenon of criminality against cultural heritage in Poland. It offers a selection of cases that constitute auxiliary material for the diagnosis of the level of threat for cultural objects within the designated period. Incidents of various criminal acts against cultural heritage are presented in the form of short informative pieces; these include cases of theft, robbery, or the destruction of valuable cultural property.
