Sutherland’s study of the ‘professional thief’ suggested that:
people are socialized into a life of crime by associating with others who define it in positive terms
the majority of crime is committed by middle class people in professional occupations
those who were arrested and charged with theft did not define themselves as thieves
the most dangerous criminals on the street were those who were highly skilled thieves
Sutherland’s view was that people had to be socialized into a subculture of crime or deviance in order to become committed to the role. He showed how one could become a ‘professional thief’ by learning certain technical skills and abilities, just like any other occupation. If successful, the thief is gradually admitted to the company of other thieves in the criminal ‘underworld’, where (s)he is taught even more skills. 245-246
