The publication is one of the first studies of its kind, devoted to the\neconomic dimension of crimes against cultural and archaeological heritage. Lack\nof research in this area is largely due to irregular global prevalence vague\ndefinition of economic value of the damage these crimes cause to the society at\nnational and global level, to present and future generations. The author uses\nclassical models of Becker and Freeman, by modifying and complementing them\nwith the tools of economics of culture based on the values of non-use. The\nmodel tries to determine the opportunity costs of this type of crime in several\nscenarios and based on this to determine the extent of their limitation at an\naffordable cost to society and raising public benefits of conservation of World\nand National Heritage.\n
