Summary/Abstract: There are a variety of methods that may be used in the analysis of crimes against cultural heritage which allow us to determine the level of risk. A comprehensive study covering all instances of crime against cultural goods during the period of one year allows us to note tendencies in criminals’ behaviour and help develop methods of counteracting similar crimes in the future. Based on the results of several such case studies, it is then possible to assess the risk of crime against national cultural heritage in a much more appropriate manner and minimise its occurrence. This paper presents selected cases of crimes against cultural heritage that occurred in 2019.
