DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMATUER AND PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS

Setting aside our disgust at the disruption of our value system, there are three major differences

between the professional property offender (thief) and an amateur thief. First, the

professional has a diminished moral capacity and multiple victims, while the amateurs damage

is much more limited. Secondly, the professional plans ahead, has a modus operandi, and an

outlet for his booty (fence). Thirdly, the professional can only be stopped by incarceration,

while the amateur will stop when his situation changes, because his theft is often a crime of

sociological pressure and temporary opportunity (addiction, extreme poverty, underlying

psychological problems, etc.). In sum, the professional must be combated with all the forces of

law, while the amateur needs more sociological and psychological help to get his behavior back

on track. So, the laws identifying the difference is essential to the sociological remedy.

agreement.

the court orders the lessor or renter to pay replacement costs, replacement costs shall include but not be
limited to:

Page 19 of 30

CRJ 105 Crime and Criminal Behavior

(A) The market value of the personal property. The market value shall be established by the owner of the

replaced. The value to be awarded shall be the higher of:
(i) The value on the date when the conversion occurred; or

(ii) The value on the date of the trial;
(B) All rental charges from the date the rental agreement was executed until the date of the trial or the date

lessor or renter reimburse the owner for those expenses which may include, but not be limited to, credit

O.C.G.A. 16-8-5.1 (2010)
16-8-5.1. Circumstances permitting inference of intent to avoid payment; exceptions
