This monograph by a professional thief--with the aid of Edwin H.
Sutherland's expert comments and analyses--is a revealing
sociological document that goes far to explain the genesis,
development, and patterns of criminal behavior. "Chic Conwell," as
the author was known in the underworld, gives a candid and
forthright account of the highly organized society in which the
professional thief lives. He tells how he learned to steal,
survive, succeed, and ultimately to pay his debt to society and
prepare himself for full and useful citizenship. "The Professional
Thief" presents in amazing detail the hard, cold facts about the
private lives and professional habits of pickpockets, shoplifters,
and conmen, and brings into focus the essential psychological and
sociological situations that beget and support professional crime.
