    "This book by Professor Cressey is a careful study, done with theoretical and methodological skill, but which retains much of the case studies gathered in the field in interviews with trust violators in three different penitentiaries. These case studies not only allow the thoughtful reader to check the findings against the source material, but also provide fascinating and sometimes rather exciting reading matter. Flip the book open and see any case.
    There is a discussion of the value of legal concepts in sociological research and a description of a system for re-defining legal concepts in such a way that necessary rigor is introduced without being doing violence to traditional criminal law categories.
    Although the research on the which this book is based was not undertaken for the purpose of finding a "cure" for embezzlement, the implications of the theory for prevention of this crime are discussed briefly." - A blurb from the book.
