Control theory

seems to be skyrocketing compared to Japan. Irish’s control theory and the labeling theory sheds light onto the differences in crime. The crime rate differentiates because of culture. America’s ways of punishment on crime is not the same as Japans. Certain crimes in the united states compared to Japan’s are not seen as “serious”, which leads to different forms of punishment for the same crime. Hirschi’s conflict theory states that “social control is directly affected by the strength of social…

Discussion Previous studies, which examine the effect of gun control laws have generally failed, with the exception of a few, to discover a statistically significant gun control effect on the violent crime rate. This present study is concurrent with inferences drawn from previous studies about their inability to discover statistically significant gun control effects. After conducting our analyses there was not a statistically significant effect, with the exception of one relationship, on…

In Hirschi’s social control theory, he believes that individual differences that develop early in a person’s life have effects across the entire course of their life. Hirschi joined with Criminologist Michael Gottfredson in this belief, and both believe that criminal behavior is gratifying to some and that crime can lead to short-term pleasure. Hirschi and Gottfredson both believe that self-control, not social bonds are largely responsible for why some commit criminal acts (Cullen, Agnew, Wilcox…

Gate control theory is a great borrowed theory that relates to postoperative pain in the pediatric patient and the nursing education that is associated with it. Another theory that this writer believes also fits in the topic of postoperative pain in pediatric patients and nursing education about the topic is Lazaru’s theory of stress, coping, and adaptation (McEwen & Wills, 2014, p. 320). Stress plays a major role in pain especially after a surgery with pediatric patients, this specific…

Out of all the sociological and psychological theories listed in chapter 2 of our textbook, I think the social control theory has the most merit. The theory is based on four components of social bond. These components are what keep people from committing crimes. The first component is attachment; someone does not commit a crime because they are afraid of being judged by the ones they love, respect, and value. The second is commitment; people do not commit a crime because they put considerable…

Self-control theory also known as General theory of crime is a criminological theory about how an individual lacks self-control. Lacking self-control is the main factor behind deviant behavior. Self-control theory places much of its weight on parents’ ability to properly raise their children. It suggests that individuals who were not parented properly before the age of ten develop less self-control than those of roughly the same age who were raised with improved parenting. As simple as this…

When applied to criminal behavior, social control theory explains what influences criminal behavior. The social control theory also contributes to individual criminal behavior. An informal look at Social control may be to look at social values, community expectations and laws of communities. The social laws or laws governed by society The formal social control describes the social laws, rules, and punishments that address behavior that is considered antisocial or criminal.

of self-control you begin to inhibit criminal behavior. The mind is the most powerful asset we have as humans it controls everything our motives, emotions, decisions and when the mind becomes a victim to a disability it causes havoc which usually leads to delinquency. I am relating this specific theory to an article on the topic of mental health care and how we should be attentive and interested in the topic; because it could potentially lead to…

Self-Control Theory “explains crimes as the outcome of an individual’s low self-control in combination with situational conditions conductive to criminal behavior” (Glick. Miller. 176). Individuals with low levels of self-control Gottfredson’s and Hirschi states; “crime provides easy and immediate gratification of desires; criminal acts provide few or meager long-term benefits; and criminal acts are exciting, risky, or thrilling” (Glick. Miller 176). Hirschi states that self-control must be…

Control theory concentrates on the elements that limit people from crime. They contend that all individuals have needs and desires that are more effectively fulfilled through crime than through legitimate channels. For instance, it is much less demanding to take cash than to work for it. So according to control theorists, crime requires no extraordinary clarification, and it is frequently the most practical approach to get what one needs. Instead of clarifying why individuals participate in…
