METAL THEFT
Theft of Metal from Church Buildings
Published September 2011 English Heritage Guidance Note
An Act to amend the law relating to scrap metal dealers
An evaluation of government/law enforcement interventions aimed at reducing metal theft
This paper summarises results of analyses which aimed to test whether the decline of metal theft from 2012 was caused primarily by the government/law enforcement interventions (See Scrap Metals Dealers Act 2013 above), or was simply due to metal prices falling back from their peak. Findings show large, statistically significant effects were caused by the former.
