SYNOPSIS
Social control has long been a central focus in sociology and criminology. Originally defined as a central foundation of social order, social control has since come to be conceived in terms of the control of norm violations (Deflem, 2015). The Handbook of Social Control provides an overview of selected aspects of social control to offer an overview of the most important dimensions of social control today. Pedagogically as well as academically, this handbook fulfills a unique role by being explicitly focused on issues of social control from a variety of perspectives. This book reveals the rich heritage of the major relevant perspectives of social control and provides an overview of the most important theories and dimensions of social control today.
This handbook is published in the series, Handbooks in Criminology and Criminal Justice.
