criticism

1. According to Thomas Huonker, Haesler is one of a group of researchers from the 1950s and 1960s who dealt uncritically with data from the 'aid organization' that harms personality. According to Thomas Huonker, Haesler uncritically quoted the work of Jörger , Moritz Tramer , Robert Ritter and Rudolf Waltisbühl, used the same code names for the families that Jörger and the 'aid organization' director Siegfried had coined, and also adopted their value judgment on these 'familles errantes '. His dissertation is largely a summary and translation of the 'aid organization' files

2. The "prisoners' union " was increasingly criticized by the political left for not being a trade union in the true sense of the word or for representing the interests of the Swiss judicial authorities; the club disbanded in the 1980s.
