	Social control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social control is present in all societies, if only in the control mechanisms used to prevent its establishment in anarchic situations.
		Informal social control is exercised by a society without explicitly stating these rules and is expressed through custom, norms, and mores using informal sanctions such as criticism, disapproval, guilt and shaming.
		In democratic societies the goals and mechanisms of social control are determined through legislation by elected representatives and thus enjoy a measure of support from the population and voluntary compliance.

		Social control (civil justice or social justice) is the process within society which both formally, through law, and informally, through customs, norms, and mores; attempts to influence and order the actions of social groups and their members and thus create public order.
		Social control is espoused by Packer's[?] crime control model of justice, which argues that arrest and conviction are the goals of criminal justice.
		Formal social control is generally overt, involves written rules or laws, enforcement by law enforcement personnel, who are entrusted with a monopoly on violence and imprisonment, and formal sanctions imposed by a court.

	Sociology - Social Control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Thus while most of the elements of social control are to be found in the reactions of individual life, still we find that there must be a larger agency representing the social mass — that is, a social mind to give to society an orderly arrangement.
		Social suggestion varies in its force with the bodily and mental condition of the person upon whom it operates ; one who is fatigued, diseased, or nervously worn out is most readily controlled.
		Show why social control is more necessary in a dense than in a sparse population ; in times of war than in peace ; in a mixed than in a homogeneous population; in a society stratified into classes than in one unstratified.

	Idaho Observer: The Social Control Solution
		Social control is the mechanism whereby we as the citizens of a community can influence the behavior of the people around us by demanding, as a community, that people behave themselves in a specified manner.
		In the latter part of the 20th century, we face a tremendous challenge because all of the government and media entities that we have been conditioned to depend upon as social control mechanisms are they themselves guilty of engaging in behaviors that are simply not acceptable to honest, decent and hardworking 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.

	Technology and Social Control (Int. Encylopedia of the Social Sciences)
		The engineering of social control can be differentiated from related control forms such as the creation and manipulation of culture and socialization, the redistributive rewards of the welfare state and inter-personal influences.
		Controllers are increasingly able to know things about subjects that the latter do not know about themselves and to make decisions affecting their life chances of which they are unaware.
		Contemporary social control themes are seen in their most extreme form in the maximum security prison (e.g., continuous surveillance, extensive use of computer dossiers, decisions about individuals based on actuarial data, the engineering of control).

	Informal social control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Informal social control is exercised by a society without explicitly stating these rules.

	Deviance and Social Control
		In framing the study of deviance and social control as a contest between those with sufficient power to construct and enforce some versions of social reality to the exclusion of "others," this course invites you to engage analytically in a story at the core of sociology itself.
		A central objective of this course is to critically examine a particularly important aspect of the relationship between deviance and social control: the historical construction of different theoretical perspectives on deviance.
		In studying the social contexts in which theories about deviance are produced and consumed, you will also be asked to imaginatively reflect upon the ways in which your own biographical and historical positionings affect the ways you understand deviance and social control.

	FQS 1(1) Gabi Loeschper: Crime and Social Control
		Abstract: Crime and social control are fields of qualitative research in the social sciences, where behavior is not inherently deviant or criminal, but rather, deviance is a matter of interpretation and judgment.
		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.
		The relatively small number of qualitative studies compared to quantitative analyses of "crime" and social control could be explained by qualitative studies' serious problems of access, not only in respect to subcultures but particularly in respect to situations and places where domination is exercised.

	Day 23: Deviance and Social Control
		Social control: processes meant to keep people from deviating from accepted norms.
		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).
		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).

	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 return to private profit-making social control systems, with their clear incentives for generating and managing deviant populations, may mean a return of some of the abuses that were conducive to the eighteenth and early nineteenth century move from private to public responses to crime (Spitzer and Scull, 1977).
		Because of their intentionality, nonenforcement and covert facilitation are social control strategies; this cannot be said of escalation which is defined by its unintended consequences, though these may be present with the former as well.

	Social Control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		At its most basic, social control involves all of the things that we do - or have done to us - that are designed to maintain or change people's behaviour.
		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.
		As I've suggested, social controls are closely related to norms of behaviour and just as there are two basic types of norm (informal and formal), there are two basic types of social control (informal and formal).

		Social software claims to put the citizen back at the center of political life, but in reality, such dumbed-down participation reduces citizenship to the mere consumption of information and services.
		Ross Mayfield, who runs a weblog devoted to discussing social software, argues: 'as the cost for forming issue groups falls, expect similar groups and coalitions to form around otherwise less fundable issues.' [Distribution of Influence] For Mayfield, low-cost engagement brings more diversity to the table.

		Emotional control, masking emotional displays, and denial of felt emotions occur in social situations, not to remove emotions from social life, but to achieve conformity with emotion norms (Heise and Calhan, 1995) or in response to social control (Hochschild, 1983; Staske, 1996; Heise and Weir, 1999).
		During a social interaction individuals intuit behaviors which would produce impressions validating fundamental affective meanings, and they are inclined to enact such behaviors, or ask others to enact them, in order to obtain confirming experiences.
		Social movement organizations turned the shame to fear through propaganda emphasizing the violence of oppressors, and then turned the fear to anger through further propaganda emphasizing the militancy of the social movement organizations.

	Burk, James: On Social Organization and Social Control
		His research was deeply rooted in the traditions of philosophical pragmatism and the Chicago school of sociology, influences which led him to reject grand theories and mechanistic explanations of social life.
		The task of his "pragmatic sociology" was to identify fundamental trends in the social organization of industrial societies, to indicate their substantive implications for social control, and to clarify realistic alternatives for institution building which would strengthen the prospects for maintaining liberal democratic regimes.
		Organized to demonstrate the common logic of inquiry and substantive unity of Janowitz's contribution to several subfields of sociology, the collection includes analyses of the concept of social control, ethnic intolerance and hostility, citizenship in Western societies, models for urban education, and the professionalization of military elites.

		The ultimate goal of the power elite, as I have written before, is to have a world government with social control of the populace.
		In an earlier part to this series on mental health, education and social control, I referred to the head of the Rockefeller Foundation, Max Mason, on April 11, 1933 stating that their goal was social control, the control of human behavior.
		And on December 30, 1985, I wrote a memo to Chester Finn, the head of my division, warning that the CSOS was asking students whether their parents had gotten in trouble with the police, and whether the students themselves would acknowledge being involved in criminal activities.
