TY - JOUR TI - Criminal Threats to National Heritage – An Analysis of the Events of 2017 AU - Jakubowski, Olgierd TI - Criminal Threats to National Heritage – An Analysis of the Events of 2017 AB - There are a variety of methods that may be used in the analysis of crimes against cultural heritage which allow us to determine the level of risk. A case study covering all instances of crime against cultural goods during the period of one year allows us to note tendencies present in the behaviour of criminals, and helps develop methods to counteract similar crimes in the future. Based on the results of several such case studies, it is then possible to assess the risk of crime against national heritage in a much more complementary manner and minimise its occurrence. This article presents selected cases of crime in 2017 based on statistics prepared by the national police,National Revenue Administration,and border police. The study is part of an annual series and aims to illustrate the trends and threats related to monuments and cultural assets in a given year. The complementary presentation of collective information on the threat to cultural heritage is essential for a research perspective, in order to develop a strategy for its protection.
