The time for this section is 70 Questions 51 — 60 are based on the following passage. Social control refers to social processes, planned or unplanned, by which people are taught, persuaded, or forced to conform to norms. In every society, some punishments or negative sanctions are established for deviant behavior. Without deviant behavior there would not be need for social control and without social control there would not be a way of recognizing the boundary between the acceptable and the unacceptable. Social control may be either formal or informal. Informal mechanisms include expressions of disapproval by significant others and withholding of positive rewards for disapproved behavior. Most people internalize norms in the course of socialization. This is any group’s most powerful protection against deviance, in that the individual’s own conscience operates as an agent of social control. When informal sanctions fail, formal agents of social control may be called upon. In contemporary society, such formal agents and agencies include psychiatry and other mental health professions; mental hospitals; police and courts of law; prisons; and social welfare agencies. All these formal agents function to limit, correct, and control violation of norms. Conflict theorists would also point out that social control agents and systems tend, in any society, to serve the interests of powerful groups and to enforce the norms most beneficial to those who make the rules and who, therefore, define unacceptable behavior. Social control, whether formal or informal, has a dual function. First, it punishes the wrongdoer and reaffirms the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Second, and less

recognized, it regulates the manner in which deviants are treated. 51. Social control refers to processes by which ____. norms are A. trained D. people are rewarded and punished developed B. norms are enforced C. people are educated and 52.

Formal agents of social control include the following EXCEPT ____. police stations A. vocational schools B. mental hospitals C. welfare agencies D. 56. The purpose of formal agents is to ____. A. make beneficial rules D. define acceptable behavior B. preserve social orders C. control violation of norms 57. Which statement about social control agents is NOT true? A.
