[1] Our criminal society; the social and legal sources of crime in America : Schur, Edwin M : Internet Archive ––– related as follows: Edwin M. Schur - Sociological Analysis of Confidence Swindling (northwestern.edu): Almost twenty years ago L. L. Bernard, noting the prevalence of various types of fraud in American society, stated: "We have reached the fraud stage of social control in the evolution of successsion of forms in social control." There seems little doubt that today we are still in what Bernard terms the fraud stage of development. Swindling appears to be a strongly entrenched national phenomenon, many instances of which are reported daily in newspapers throughout the country. Though fraud of course takes on a wide variety of forms, from a sociological view almost all fraud can be seen to contain the kernel of the "confidence game" procedure - the creation, by one means or another, of a relation of confidence, through which a swindle is effected. All types of con games fall into a general pattern which may be described briefly as follows. The swindler (or swindlers, for several racketeers often band together to form a "con mob") selects a person who appears likely to be a good "sucker" (or, in the argot of the con man, "mark"). After establishing some degree of rapport with the "mark", and once he sees that the "mark" will trust him, the con man tells the "mark" of a dishonest scheme by which they can make some money. The "mark" gives the swindler his money, which he never again sees. Because he has placed his confidence in the con man, it never occurs to the "mark" (until it is too late) that he is the object rather than the co-perpetrator of the swindle. Unfortunately there is no way to accurately gauge the extent of criminal fraud in the United States today. Victims of con games (who, themselves, sought to gain dishonestly) rarely report their losses; many victims of related types of fraud never fully realize they were "taken." And where the loss is small, the victim often prefers not to bother getting involved with the police. Thus especially in the realm of fraud, "crimes known to the police" fall far short of crimes actually committed. Despite the uncertainty, experts agree on the magnitude of the fraud problem. According to Maurer, it may well be that "The three big-con games, he wire, the rag, and the pay-off, have in some forty years of their existence ... produced more illicit profit for the operators and for the law than all other forms of professional crime (excepting violations of prohibition law) over the same period of time." ––– Edwin M. Schur (born 18 October 1930 in New York City is an American sociologist and criminologist. Schur studied Political Science, Sociology and Law at Yale University and the London School of Economics, where he attained his Doctorate in 1959. After working at various US universities, Schur became a full Professor of Sociology at New York University in 1971. Schur's research and publications focus mainly on problems of the Sociology of Law and Theories of Deviant Behaviour. Schur is regarded as an early representative of Socio-Critical Criminology and the Labelling Approach. His definition of "victimless crime" (such as illegal drug use) found its way into Textbook Criminology and the Sociology of Deviance. (abstract on various resources)
