The subject of many films and books; art theft is a fascinating topic that continues to capture the popular imagination. However; it is one of many types of art crime that remain under-researched and which require much more academic; empirical investigation. This book examines who is performing; managing; governing and controlling the securitization and policing of art theft in London. Through giving the first map of the policing and securitization of one of the worldrsquo;s largest centres of art; it helps our understanding of art security at city; national and international levels and offers practical recommendations for those who operate within art security. Providing the first clear single account of the London art security terrain; this book also advances current knowledge of policing; environmental criminology and insurance. Moreover; it adds to the previous research into the traditionally restricted worlds of private policing; public policing and the art world.
