| An analysis of many contemporary works in Criminology may lead one to conclude that the contribution of Frank Tannenbaum is of minimal significance. This is exemplied by the very small and even nonexistent reference to his work. This roundtable discussion explores the failure of contemporary works in Criminology to provide an adequate discussion of the importance of Frank Tannenbaum to the Interactionist School of Criminology. This will include an in depth discussion of his major publications relevant to the discipline as well as a detailed discussion of the "stamping" and "tagging" processes and his "dramatization of evil" concept. Finally, suggestions as to why his work may have been historicalloy neglected will be discussed. |
