THE volume entitled "Professional Criminals of America," now submitted to the public, is not a work of fiction, but a history of the criminal classes. The writer has confined himself to facts, collected by systematic investigation and verified by patient research, during a continuous, active and honorable service of nearly a quarter of a century in the Police Department of the City of New York. Necessarily, during this long period, Inspector Thomas Byrnes has been brought into official relations with professional thieves of all grades, and has had a most favorable field for investigating the antecedents, history and achievements of the many dangerous criminals continually preying upon the community. -

She was raised in New York City’s underworld, by Jewish immigrant parents who were criminals that trained their children to pick pockets and shoplift. “Pretty Sophie” possessed a rare combination of skill at thievery, intellect, guts and beauty and became the woman Herbert Ashbury described in Gangs of New York as, "the most notorious confidence woman America has ever produced." Newspapers around the world chronicled Sophie’s exploits for more than sixty years, because her life read like a novel. -
1 Respectable White Ladies, Wayward Girls, and Telephone
Respectable White Ladies, Wayward Girls, and Telephone Thieves in Miami’s “Case of the Clinking Brassieres” Dr. Vivien Miller American & Canadian Studies, University of Nottingham In her landmark study of gender, family life, and domestic containment in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s, historian Elaine Tyler May noted the importance of the consumer, arms, and space races for Cold War Americans: “Family-centred spending was encouraged as a way of strengthening “the American way of life,” and thus fostering traditional, nuclear family and patriarchal values, and patriotism.1 A “fetishization of commodities” was integral to the new post-war national identity and the “feminine mystique” embodied the resurgence of neo-Victorian domesticity and motherhood.2 In 1947, journalist Ferdinand Lundberg and psychiatrist Marynia Farnham asserted that it was women’s nature to be passive and dependent. Female happiness was attained through marriage, homemaking and motherhood, while societal disarray was linked to female employment outside the home.3 Sociologist Wini Breines notes that a good life in the 1950s “was defined by a well- equipped house in the suburbs, a new car or two, a good white-collar job for the husband, well-adjusted and successful children taken care of by a full-time wife and mother. Leisure time and consumer goods constituted its centrepieces; abundance was its context. White skin was a criterion for its attainment.”4 The post-war US economy as measured by the purchase 1 Elaine Tyler May, Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era, (New York: Basic Books, 1988), especially Ch7: The Commodity Gap: Consumerism and the Modern Home, 162-182. -

FLtMlttO- CHICAOO HARRY HOUDINI PREFACE »!V.Vi O would the deed were good I For now the Devil- that told me I did well, Says that this deed is chronicled in Hell I — Shakespeare. HERE is an under world — a world of cheat and crime — a world whose highest good is successful evasion of the laws of the land. You who live your life in placid respecta bility know but little of the real life of the denizens of this world. The daily records of the police courts, the startling disclosures of fraud and swindle in newspaper stories are about all the public know of this world of crime. Of the real thoughts and feelings of the criminal, of the terrible fascination which binds him to his nefarious career, of the thousands — yea, tens of thousands — of undiscovered crimes and unpunished criminals, you know but little. The object of this book is twofold : First, to safeguard the public against the practises of the criminal classes by exposing their various tricks and explaining the adroit methods by which they seek to defraud. "Knowledge is power " is an old saying.
