CJC Workshop: 'Art Crime: Sketching Boundaries and Mapping Prevalence'

14 May 2015

Time: 8:45am - 5:30pm
Venue: Room 207, School of Law, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, E1 4NS, London, United Kingdom

This workshop comprises a group of invited scholars and practitioners to consider two broad issues: first, what are the boundaries of art crime today and second, why is art crime an important issue that should be considered more seriously by international and national political and criminal justice agendas.

Speakers at the workshop represent the cutting edge of those working in the area of art crime and have been invited across numbers of disciplines, countries and regions. The workshop includes contributions that reflect the diversity and complexity of the issues involved in dealing with what is still a relatively new and emerging form of crime. Workshop participants have been invited to make short presentations regarding both of the issues above, and to engage in dialogue and discussion about the importance and relevance of art crime to society.
