SOC 306 Chapter Notes - Chapter 10: Travis Hirschi, Social Control, Internal Control
Document Summary
Ivan nye: earliest to formulate classical to control and deviance theory, distinguished between internal and external social control, mostly theorists accept this, most deviant beh is result of insufficient social control, clusters. Influenced by culture rules and norms: most powerful, but not completely effective, most effective when child accepts parent. If parent child relationship is not good, then it is not as effective: not as effective when rules of society are not always agreed upon. Indirect control: parents: parent influence internal control, but also give indirect control, disapproval. If readily available, then above 3 clusters are strong influence to prevent deviance: travis hirschi, most associated with control theory, social bonding theory. Focus on indirect controls: deviance not due to strain, learned beh, or stimuli, deviance is a given, and we need to explain why deviance does not occur in some, reasons to not be deviant.
