Summary/Abstract: There is a variety of methods that may be used in the analysis of crimes against the cultural heritage which allow us to determine the level of risk. A case study covering all instances of crime against cultural goods during a year allows us to note tendencies present in the behaviour of criminals and helps to develop methods of counteracting similar crimes in the future. Based on the results of a number of such case studies it is then possible to assess the risk of crime against the national heritage in a much more complementary manner and minimise its occurrence.
