The State and the Art
The role of private actors in policing has become a topic in both research and policy, as police forces face budgetary and expertise-related constraints. These challenges are evident in art crime policing, where a lack of prioritisation often means limited resources are allocated for a crime that requires significant expertise to tackle. Cooperating with private actors has been mooted as a solution to this deficit, but empirical research to support this suggestion is scarce. This book helps fill this gap by examining the interaction between specialist art crime police units and private actors in Belgium, the United Kingdom, and France. Its central questions are whether cooperation already exists in art crime policing, and why, or not. It was found that while limits to police capacity are an important driver for private outreach, several other factors also significantly affect cooperation. This book is relevant for policy, practice, and research, as it examines a hitherto less discussed topic which is nonetheless urgent as art crime shows little signs of abating.
Kunstcriminaliteit
De politionele aanpak van kunstcriminaliteit is in België en Nederland een onderbelicht thema. Nochtans genereert dit fenomeen criminele opbrengsten en is de culturele schade aanzienlijk. Kunstcriminaliteit – of criminaliteit tegen cultureel erfgoed – uit zich in verschillende transnationale vormen: diefstal, plundering en illegale handel in cultuurgoederen, vernieling van cultureel erfgoed tijdens militaire conflicten of maatschappelijke onrust, iconoclasme, vervalsing en fraude, en witwassen van crimineel geld. De kunstmarkt is per definitie geglobaliseerd en wordt gedragen door actoren die werken met internationale tussenpersonen. Ze is matig gereguleerd, moeilijk te controleren en discretie en geheimhouding heersen. De collusie tussen de criminele onder- en bovenwereld noodzaakt een internationale politionele en beleidsmatige visie.

Art Crime in Context
This book brings together empirical and theoretical case-study research on art and heritage crime. Drawn from a diverse group of researchers and professionals, the work presented explores contemporary conceptualisations of art crime within broader contexts. In this volume, we see ‘art’ in its usual forms for art crime scholarship: in paintings and antiquities. However, we also see art in fossils and in violins, chairs and jewellery, holes in the ground and even in the institutions meant to protect any, or all, of the above. And where there is art, there is crime. Chapters in this volume, alternatively, zoom in on specific objects, on specific locations, and on specific institutions, considering how each interact with the various conceptions of crime that exist in those contexts. This volume challenges the boundaries of what we understand as “art and heritage crimes” and displays that both art, and criminality related to art, is creative and unpredictable.
