Description

Explore the life and work of a major figure in early twentieth-century American criminology with this historical biography from Routledge. This book examines the life of Columbia University professor Frank Tannenbaum and his lasting impact on the field. Readers gain insight into his unique journey from incarceration to academia. After serving a year on Blackwell's Island in New York City due to labor disturbances in 1914, Tannenbaum used his personal experiences to become a dedicated prison reformer. This biography details how his firsthand knowledge shaped his academic perspective and his influential writings on the criminal justice system. This text provides a deep look into his contributions to labeling theory. Specifically, it covers his famous concept of the "dramatization of evil" first introduced in his 1938 book, Crime and Community. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the development of criminological thought and the evolution of prison reform in America.
