My name is Gregg Clunis. From Wikipedia: In criminology, social control theory proposes that exploiting the process of socialization and social learning builds self-control and reduces the inclination to indulge in behavior recognized as antisocial. It derives from functionalist theories of crime and was developed by Ivan Nye (1958), who proposed that there were three types of control: Direct: by which punishment is threatened or applied for wrongful behavior, and compliance is rewarded by parents, family, and authority figures. Indirect: by identification with those who influence behavior, say because his or her delinquent act might cause pain and disappointment to parents and others with whom he or she has close relationships. Internal: by which a youth refrains from delinquency through the conscience or superego. It goes on to say: The theory seeks to understand the ways in which it is possible to reduce the likelihood of criminality developing in individuals. It does not consider motivational issues, simply stating that human beings may choose to engage in a wide range of activities, unless the range is limited by the processes of socialization and social learning. Key Takeaways: Connection to a community of some kind matters This plays a role in criminal activity but how does it affect behavior in general? The more deeply you are connected with the people around you, the less likely you are to do things that go against the social contract You don’t want to lose connection with those people Comes from our need for tribes Hosted By: Gregg Clunis | https://www.instagram.com/greggclunis/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/tinyleaps Twitter: http://twitter.com/tinyleaps Website: http://tlbc.co/tiny-leaps-big-changes
