Foundational Concepts & History

Social control refers to the mechanisms—like regulations and sanctions—that align individual behavior with societal norms. Wikipedia


The term was first introduced into sociology by Albion Woodbury Small and George Edgar Vincent in 1894. Wikipedia


Early social philosophers, such as Thomas Hobbes and Cesare Beccaria, influenced the development of the concept. Wikipedia


Émile Durkheim linked social control to social order, exploring how deviance paradoxically reinforces it. WikipediaPressbooks


Over time, “social control” evolved to emphasize individual conformity to norms. Wikipedia

Types & Agents of Social control


There are two main types: informal (socialization, norms) and formal (laws, regulations). Simply PsychologyWikipedia


Informal control is internalized—people follow norms unconsciously through socialization. WikipediaSocial Sci LibreTexts

Control Theory (Hirschi)

Cigar puffing scruffy dude with neon eyes wearing tracksuit in prison

Control Theory was developed by Travis Hirschi in 1969, explaining why people conform rather than deviate. WikipediaSimply Psychology

Hirschi identified four elements of social bonds:

attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief. WikipediaSimply Psychology

Strong social bonds reduce the likelihood of deviance; weak bonds increase it. WikipediaSimply Psychology


The theory asks not “Why do people deviate?”, but “Why don’t they?” ReviseSociology
