Types of social control

• Formal – Refers to laws, rules and regulations
enforced officially by social and political
authorities
Social control

• Shaming: Shaming is an informal way of social control. It is often


applied by someone’s peers, social group or society to discourage
their behaviors or attitudes that are seen as socially unacceptable.
• Praising: Praise is an informal social control strategy which often
takes place in interpersonal contexts. It is a way to encourage the
continuity of a behavior or stance, such as academic success or
political activism.
• Job promotion: Promoting an employee is a way of social control applied to ensure
that they keep improving their job performance and undertake increased work
responsibilities.
• Curfews: Curfews are methods of social control that ban people from leaving their
house after a particular hour. They can be informal curfews, imposed by one’s
parents or family, or formal curfews imposed by legal authorities. Curfews apply
social control over one’s mobility for various reasons including safety, security, or
asserting power.
• Stigmatization: Stigmatization refers to asserting negative labels to identities and
behaviors. This informal way of social control leads to exclusion and possible
marginalization of those whose behaviors or identities are deemed socially
undesirable. A specific example is substance abuse which is a topic that is often
stigmatized in media and education.
• Censorship: Censorship refers to restrictions over news,
discourses, and narratives in various contexts. It includes media
censorship, social media restrictions, modifications in school
curriculums as well as self-censorship due to fear of negative
consequences.
• Prison confinement: Legal punishments, including
imprisonment, are formal aspects of social control which serve
the goal of discouraging socially undesirable and illegal behavior
(McCarthy, 1990).
• Capital punishment: Capital punishment is currently legal in
92 countries while only used in 56 of them (Worlddata, 2022).
Some theories argue that death penalty is used to control
marginalized communities, for instance Blacks in the United
States, who are overrepresented in the death sentence statistics
(Tucker, 1969).
