Combatting Cultural Property Crime: Innovations on the Intersection of Law and Cultural Property Crime
The 2021 Transatlantic Cultural Property Crime Symposium will explore innovative approaches to using and operating within and around both criminal law and civil law in the detection, investigation, and restitution of illicit cultural property. In particular, it seeks to examine what both areas of law bring to the table to prevent cultural property crime from occurring, hold offenders responsible before the law, and to return objects to their rightful owners and/or places of origin. To achieve this, the symposium contributions will explore what the normative tensions and intersections between the two areas of law are, as well as where they complement each other in the field. Additionally, the 2021 Symposium aims at shedding light on how various stakeholders work within the confines of current laws in innovative ways to achieve objectives in preventing and investigating cultural property crime and to facilitate the return of stolen items. Held virtually due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 Symposium is hosted jointly by the Criminal Justice Center at Queen Mary University London, the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Science, the Ronan Institute, and the Centre for Heritage at the University of Kent.
