Set a thief to catch a thief.
Proverb, French

Genet, Jean

30.
Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.
Farquhar, George

31.
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.
Capone, Al

32.
The thief. Once committed beyond a certain point he should not worry himself too much about not being a thief any more. Thieving is God's message to him. Let him try and be a good thief.
Butler, Samuel

33.
The greatest crime in the world is not developing your potential. When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.
Williams, Roger

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is also true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.

Goldsmith, Oliver

The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier.
Shaw, George Bernard

He has 63 ways of getting money, the most common and most honorable ones being stealing, thieving, and robbing.

The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor.
Mencken, H. L.

Arendt, Hannah

50.
Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that, unsuspected, ripens with the flower of the pleasure that concealed it.
