Originally published in 1986. Based on interviews with men in
prison, this study takes two groups of convicted criminals: men
convicted of robbery, and, for comparison, a sample of men
convicted for breaking into commercial premises. It focuses on how
victims are chosen, the decision-making processes involved, and the
characteristics of those selected and those rejected as unsuitable
potential victim material. Also described are the pattern of the
crime (time, place, gain), and the ways in which people become
involved in it. Allowing several convicted robbers describe in
their own way why they did it and what they thought and felt about
it, Dermot Walsh presents a disquieting picture, in which robbery
appears to be an attractive proposition to several different groups
of men, facing quite different circumstances, and for different
reasons.
