By virtue of its influence on differential association theory, on the study of criminal behavior systems, and its sheer longevity , The Professional Thief ranks among criminology's “classics” Although some uncertainty surrounds the authorship of the book's first eight chapters, sposedly written by thief Chic Conwell, the “Introduc tion,” the last two chapters, and all the annotated footnotes are clearly the work of Edwin H. Sutherland. Purportedly, the extensive annotations supplement and validate Conwell's description of professional theft. Content analysis shows them to be more reiterative than supplement at thus narrowing the book's representation of professional theft
