Im Gegensatz zu den Theorien seiner Zeit, die von einer Fehlanpassung devianter Individuen an die Normen der Gesellschaft ausgingen, nahm Tannenbaum die Gruppe in den Blick und erklärte: "The issue involved is not whether an individual is maladjusted to society, but the fact that his adjustment to a special group makes him maladjusted to the large society because the group he fits into is at war with society” (1938: 8). | Im Gegensatz zu den Theorien seiner Zeit, die von einer Fehlanpassung devianter Individuen an die Normen der Gesellschaft ausgingen, nahm Tannenbaum die Gruppe in den Blick und erklärte: "The issue involved is not whether an individual is maladjusted to society, but the fact that his adjustment to a special group makes him maladjusted to the large society because the group he fits into is at war with society” (1938: 8). | ||
Abschließend konstatiert Tannenbaum (1951: 474-478): | |||
*"We cannot seriously change the incidence of crime in American life without changing our police, our politics, our morals, our values" (474). | |||
*"One thing is clear, that what we do now is wrong, perhaps completely wrong. We have failed to reform the criminal" (474). | |||
*"The trouble lies perhaps in a wrong analysis of the problem itself and therefore in a wrong way of dealing with it. It is, I think, no exaggeration to say that our entire punitive and rehabilitative efforts have gone wrong because they mis-state4d their problem. The assumptions both of those who would reform and of those who would punish have been these: | |||
(1) The the criminal is an individual and can be dealt with as an individual (...) If the criminal is to change the patgtern of his ways, then the group from whom he takes the content of meaning for his activities and from whom he expects and receives recognition must change its expectancies from him." (475) | |||
