Chapter 1 Psychology of theft, burglary, robbery and fraud: An Overview
Introduction

Theft and economic crime, including fraud, are acquisitive crimes, meaning they centre on taking other people's belongings. More formally, acquisitive crimes are those that have as their central process the appropriation of money or goods. Interestingly, there are aspects to these crimes, for example enhancing one's power of reputation, that go beyond the obvious desire to acquire something of value (Canter & Youngs, 2009). Acquisitive crime ranges from filching the toiletries or the bible from your hotel room, to the armed robbery of cash in transit, to the multi-million-dollar Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Bernie Madoff. For as long as there have been human beings, there has been crime rooted in covetousness. Indeed, the crime of theft is probably concomitant with the possession of property (Brown, 1930, p. 405). For as long as people have owned things there has been someone intent on stealing them. Part 1 of this book will explore these crimes in depth, using standout cases to illustrate the different themes in closer detail.
