I have nothing but praise for the overall effort of the book to
suggest a promising relationship between criminology and
archaeology as well as for the information on the illicit market in
antiquities provided by the individual papers.
*Law and Politics Book Review*
This reviewer would argue that, despite some of the more
theoretical contributions being challenging to someone without a
background in criminology, they should be required reading for
anyone who feels moved to comment on, or is in a position to
influence, the framing or application of laws or regulations
relating to what is an abhorrent and destructive trade.
