Definition and meaning of Governmental Social Controls

Governmental Social Controls - [Sociology]

Individuals must conform to certain standards of performance or norms within society. Otherwise the society degenerates into chaos. Norms are enforced through internalization and through sanctions. Governmental social controls are usually sanctions on behavior. Internalization is more an individual process by which people accept the right and just nature of norms, and they practice self-control. People who have not internalized norms must be motivated to conform by sanctions. A formal sanction is a reward for good behavior or a punishment for bad behavior which is given by a formal organization such as government. Beyond self-control, social control is enforced by figures of authority including the judicial system and police, and the adoption of laws.
