Reviews
Though it first brings to mind cinematic heists and Hollywood glamour, art crime is in fact a serious international problem, involving organized crime and even terrorism. Books like this one go a long way to introducing the real facts about this phenomenon, and delve deep into the dark side of the art world. -- Noah Charney, Phd, professor specializing in art crime and founder of ARCA (Association for Research into Crimes against Art) Stealing History: A Deeper Understanding to Art and Cultural Crimes is an excellent read. This book is concise and yet rich with material covering an under-addressed area of criminal justice studies-crimes relating to art and culture. Consequently, the book fills an important void in the literature. The book is well-written and well-sourced and would make an excellent primary or supplemental text in any number of criminology and law enforcement courses. -- Jeff Bumgarner, Department Head and Professor of Criminal Justice and Political Science, North Dakota State University
