Family and the local community as direct and indirect control agencies in prevention of criminal behawior


Abstract

The text discusses the theory of social control on the example of parental control and local community ways to conform its members. Both institutions of socialization enforce the social order by means of two forms of control: direct (external sanctions) and indirect (social bond). The text argues that a moderate level of control is a protective factor for crime.
