Details

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned Fortia Insight to examine how police forces in England record, identify, extract and share data on Cultural Property Crime (CPC).

A Rapid Evidence Review (RER) was conducted to establish the current knowledge base on CPC in England. 24 online interviews (with 26 interviewees) with police forces and heritage-sector stakeholders were conducted to identify existing gaps and contribute to the evidence base necessary for future research focused on enhancing the monitoring and analysis of CPC in England. Findings were triangulated with the RER to distinguish force-specific variation from wider systemic constraints.
