Document Summary
Nye: first to articulate a difference between internal and external social control. Parents and indirect control: they can place indirect controls on juveniles. Indirect controls are disapproval the parent might show if the juvenile engages in deviant behaviour: the extent the juvenile cares about the parents disapproval, he or shw will not engage in deviant behaviour, 3. Need to give indivudals reason not to engage in deviant behaviour: alternative means to need satisfaction ( goals and values) are necessary so that indivdiuals do not have to engage in deviant behaviour to get what they want. Social bond consists of 4 parts: attachment, emotional component. Involvement: the more time spent engaged in conforming activites, the less time available to deviate, ex. If ur at football practice, you cannot be shoplifting at the same time: belief, the stronger the awareness, understanding, and agreement with the rules and norms of society, the less likely one will be to deviate.
