He may have learned a great deal; he may in the main reproduce the activities required by his social tradition; but with it all he is to a degree out of joint with the general system of estimated values by which society is held together.

This may be shown to be true even of the pronounced types of unsocial individuals of whom we had occasion to speak at the outset.

The criminal is, socially considered, a man of poor judgment.

He may be more than this, it is true.

He may have a bad strain of heredity, what the theologians call "original sin"; he then is an "habitual criminal" in the current distinction of criminal types; and his own sense of his failure to accept the teachings of society may be quite absent, since crime is so normal to him.
