“…The 'immediate personal victim' concerns the individual/s who directly look after the heritage site or asset in question, in a paid or unpaid role. The immediate personal victim can concern small groups of individuals, for example 'Friends' groups, who voluntarily involve themselves in the management and conservation of a heritage site or asset (Rugg and Parsons 2018). These victims are emotionally and actively (in terms of caring for it) closest to the site or asset, and because the site or asset cannot be a victim itself in the way the police might understand (it is not a human/non-human animal or alive); such persons are the first or immediate victim/s of the offence.…”

Heritage crime has to date received little criminological interest relative to other topics within the discipline. Therefore, the current literature on the area is limited. Victims of heritage crime are significantly under-represented in the current body of literature, and empirical research on heritage crime and victimisation is lacking; as is any theoretical development of the phenomenon. This article makes small steps towards addressing some of the substantial gaps relating to heritage crime victimisation in presenting the first typology of heritage crime victims. This typology is the result of research conducted across England and Wales with a sample of heritage practitioners, police officers, and heritage crime victims. Based on the research conducted, we hope to contribute towards the body of police and heritage practitioner knowledge concerning victims of heritage crime. The typology may, with further research, be applied or adapted to include heritage crime victims across the globe.

“…The deceased were buried in local parish cemeteries, which subsequently developed into burials in private cemeteries (Green & Green 2006: 26). Burials and funerals in urban areas expanded exponentially in the industrial era in the nineteenth century, with rising funerary choices and influenced by an increasingly diverse population, which marked the departure from rural churchyards burials (Rugg & Parsons 2018). Cremation was predominantly used for deaths arising from the flu epidemic between 1914 and 1915, although some migrant communities opted for remains to be repatriated.…”

Covid-19 has radically upended death and dying. Restrictive measures aimed at containing the spread of infections have resulted in a simplification or abandonment of many social and cultural practices related to burials, funerals and mourning. This article aims to examine how the pandemic has affected burials, funeral practices and mourning. It analyses the extent to which the restrictions balance the need to protect public health and the opportunity for mourners to honour the deceased. A consideration of the implications for surviving families and the wider community is important for future pandemic preparations. Keywords: pandemic; death; burial; funeral; grief; mourning.

“…For example, burial space remains under the control of the state church in Sweden and Norway although in both instances a process of transfer to full municipal ownership and responsibility appears to be under way (Hadders, 2013;Marjavaara, 2012). In the UK the mix includes state owned and managed cemeteries, churchyards and burial grounds provided by religious denominations, and a small number of private sector cemeteries (Rugg & Parsons, 1998); the Netherlands also has a mix of municipal and 'special' cemeteries owned by religious communities or privately (Mathijssen & Venhorst, 2019). In some countries, including for example the US and Colombia, large-scale private corporations to own burial spaces, with the state taking responsibility for meeting residual need (Klaufus, 2015;Llewellyn, 1998).…”

This paper applies social justice frameworks to 'cemetery systems' which here denotes the framework by which each nation state orders the disposal of the dead, and which generally includes burial, cremation and the interment or scattering of cremated remains. An application of social justice theory indicates the desirability of certain key principles for all cemetery systems: decent disposal as a human right; democratic accountability; equality of access to services regardless of income; freedom of religious expression; and environmental sustainability. Achieving these principles is not necessarily straightforward, and conflict between principles is heightened by financialisation and population densification.
