2. Social Control through Law
• Before a society can be considered intelligent, it must have
some means to control the behavior of its members. If
everyone in society had to do what they wanted, there
would be no society. This is because lack of discipline can
lead to injustice and make life miserable. Because it causes
a short period of cruelty. For this reason, each society
regulates the behavior of its members by rules. This rule of
conduct is known as social control.

legitimate means of social control, and informal means of
ostracism; Mockery Includes gossip and censorship.

control. Therefore, legal control methods are the main

control. Thomas Hobbes described his social situation in Latvia and how
the state used civilian and military power to train. It also states that
criminal changes to Cesare Beccaria's crimes and punishments will serve
as a form of social control. Sociologist ilemile Durkheim explores social
controls in the Department of Labor in the community.

process known as socialization brings about the development of
real-world behaviors by being born with extremely different
behavioral potentials. What a group accepts him by what
standards.
– Legal means of social control: External sanctions imposed by the
government to prevent social unrest or hatred. Some theorists,
such as ilemile Durkheim, qualify as regulators of this form of
control.
