| | Sociology - Social Control |
 | | Law is the formal means of control, by means of which people's lives are regulated, their rights, duties, and privileges defined, the offenses against individuals and society determined, and the punishments for violators provided. | | | Finally, they are enforced by the social sanctions of esteem, social distinction, and by the penalties of disfavor, disgrace, and blame. | | | Without president, secretary, or board of control to dictate its actions, and without any prerogative or legal sanction, it yet has the full force of public authority to act immediately and informally. |

| | FQS 1(1) Gabi Loeschper: Crime and Social Control |
| | The inquiry of "crime" is inseparably tied to the analysis of social control through (mainly) criminal law and its institutionalized practices (police, public prosecution, court, prison etc.) of segmentation, typifying, classification and judgment. | | | Analyses of the processes of interaction and interpretation, through which social conflicts are transformed into criminal law cases and brought into the criminal justice system, show the existence of different realities of "crime" and their selective discovery procedures and registration. | | | Evidence of selective criminalization, of stigmatization, and of an asymmetrical relation of power in criminal court procedures contradict the image and the criminal justice system’s claim that equality before the law does exist. |

| | Ironies of Social Control |
| | Social controllers are thought to be in a relentless struggle with autonomous criminals, who freely choose to violate the law, and who always do what they are charged with having done. | | | The literature on social control as an element necessary to understand deviance has primarily focused at the macrolevel on 1) the politics of law making and enforcement priority setting and (after a violation has occurred at the microlevel) on 2) discretion in the criminal justice system, and on 3) the consequences of being formally processed. | | | Authorities need the continuing support of at least some of those they wish to control, and they are willing to pay a price for it. |

| | In terms of agents of social control and integration, Marxists have tended to favour the institutions of civil society (trade unions, voluntary groups, political parties, etc.) rather than the state or the family. | | | Regulation means the application of a particular set of laws or rules, implicitly including punishment for those who violate the rules. | | | See the Evgeny Pashukanis Archive for a Marxist approach to law and regulation. |

| | Control Theories in Criminology |
| | Drift is caused by a broad sense of injustice and a sense of irresponsibility, both reinforced by the potential delinquent's perceptions of conventional legal standards for justice. | | | All except a handful of jurisdictions recognize the immediacy of this connection in "contributing to delinquency" statutes, parental liability laws, and a number of other restitution schemes. | | | The whole argument is compatible with the social contract assumption that everyone has equal chances for ruin or failure. |

| | Formal control: this is exercised through institutions, which formally enforce norms, and impose formal sanctions when we break them (police and courts, religious institutions, schools, etc). | | | Crimes are particular deviant acts that a government has decided to outlaw. | | | Rapid social change also makes it hard both to know what the norms are (needed for self-control), and for the system to enforce norms (formal control). |

| | Idaho Observer: The Social Control Solution |
| | After working exhaustively over the last five years to find something that works, it is my suggestion that every American who has a home in a county in a state stop worrying about state politics and stop worrying about national and international politics. | | | It is obvious that our current system of punishing criminals is not a deterrant to crime because, according to U.S. News and World Report, the U.S currently incarcerates one in every 265 Americans. | | | If we begin to positively return decency and morality to our communities through social control that is administered by the predominantly decent and moral people who live in our community, then we will be able to promote and develop the machinery necessary to restore decency and morality to larger metropolises and to state governments. |

| | First, the justice system is controlled through government by the economic elite. | | | What is generated is not obedience but anger, and since a prisoner risks punishment such as being sent to segregation if she directs her anger at the system that's hurting her, that anger often gets directed inward or at other prisoners. | | | Because the most brutal methods of social control are directed at a society's most oppressed groups, the women most likely to be sent to jail [and prison] are poor and/or women of color. |

| | The socialisation process, for example, involves social control because it represents an attempt by people to shape the way in which a child, for example, develops. | | | We may not always agree with those rules, nor do we always obey them, but the fact remains that they exist and we have to take note of their existence. | | | Role play is again a form of social control because we are trying to act in ways that are considered orderly and predictable in certain situations. |
