Document Summary
Social relations: the way that individuals and groups are related to each other: governed or controlled by law and the cjs. Social forces: shape our political system, our social systems, our laws and our criminal justice systems. Social conduct: how we behave or conduct ourselves in our social relations. Social conventions: norms or expectations, what people expect we will do: some are informal, some formal. Social constraints: can be formal or informal: informal constraints. Rejection, sunning or exclusion: formal constraints. Laws, the courts, the police, the prison system. Social institutions: largely modern creations, designed to constrain those who do not follow social convention: the criminal justice system, set up to control those who do not follow social conventions. Sociology involves a respect for logical clarity in the formulation of theories. Puts together theories that make sense and accurately predict things open to evaluation. People will produce reports open for criticism from others.
