Book excerpt: Excerpt from Professional Thieves and the Detectives: Containing Numerous Detective Sketches Collected From Private Records; With a Sketch of the Author, How He Became a Detective, &C In again submitting to the public a volume of my Detective Experiences, a few words of introduction may not be out of place. The life of a Detective is naturally a varied and excitable one. At one time he is engaged in the pursuit of the hardened Criminal, whose hands are crimson with the blood of his victim - at another, the Burglar, whose manipulations of the protecting appliances, which have been invented to secure the wealth of others from his rapacious grasp, engrosses his attention - and anon he is found working his silent way through the intricate mazes of science, where the Counterfeiter and the Forger, with their miraculous chemicals and deft handiwork, require not only a familiarity with their mode of procedure, but an astute knowledge of human nature and their various characteristics. The Criminal is not always the rough and uncouth Defendant in a Court of Quarter Sessions. He appears quite as frequently as the well-dressed, polished, and educated gentleman, as the distinguished foreigner and as the profound scientist, as he does in the guise of the ignorant; the open defier of the law or the midnight robber.

Download or read book The Professional Thief written by Chic Conwell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1956 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The American Response to Professional Crime 1879 1917 written by Larry K. Hartsfield and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1985-07-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry K. Hartsfield explores the impact of professional crime on American culture from multiple viewpoints. During the period under study the criminal played a central role in increasingly popular detective novels and also moved to center stage in serious fiction about the nature of humanity and the development of personality. Through autobiographies, thieves depicted themselves with characteristics that they perceived their audiences to expect. The criminal became especially prominent in a new subgenre of fiction, the literature of exposure, which included reform tracts about corruption in American life and exposes of urban crime and threats against the agrarian ethos. In addition, the thief was analyzed by doctors and sociologists. An extensive bibliography lists thousands of pages of neglected writing about American crime to complete this fascinating study of the American professional thief.
