The Professional Thief by a Professional Thief - Sutherland, Edwin H.

Clean, tight, unmarked; age tanned; sunning to covers; stain to front cover bottom inside front corner; edge wear along spine and corners; single crease to spine; light general wear; 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 account of the blighted by highly organized society in which the professional thief lives and tells how he himself learned to steal, learned to survive and succeed by using the 'fix," and learned eventually to pay his debt to society and orient himself to full and useful citizenship.
