How about social control through the law

The basic characteristics of social control.

The main ones are: From the point of view of the nature of social control, it has a clear centralization and transpersonal nature. The centralization of social control means that social control always reflects the interests and will of a specific social organization in a concentrated manner, and serves the overall interests and supreme will of the social organization no matter what specific content it has and what specific means it adopts.

Transindividuality refers to the fact that social control is always exercised in the name of a certain society and on behalf of a certain social organization. It is this trans-individuality over the individual that makes it more powerful in its control over the individual. From the perspective of the role of social control, it has obvious dependence and interaction.

Dependence refers to the fact that social control can only work if it depends on social entities. These entities include social organizations, social individuals, and information media that convey the content of social norms. Interactivity refers to the fact that social control works through the interaction between social behaviors.

From the point of view of the process by which social control comes into play, it is multidirectional and intersectional. Multi-directionality refers to the fact that the control subject emits all kinds of information in many aspects, and the multiple information transmission media, as an intermediate link, links various social spiritual factors with a large number of social individuals, so that social control becomes a complex process of multi-directional intersection and multi-layer connection.

The Control of Social Societies Through the Law is a book published by the Commercial Press, written by Roscoe Ponjord.

Social Control Through Law is divided into four chapters, starting with the first chapter, "Civilization and Social Control", discussing the relationship between civilization, social control and law, emphasizing that with the development of civilization, law has become the main means of social control. Chapter 2 emphasizes "what is law", arguing that three completely different things in history have used the name of law, which has caused a lot of confusion in the discussion of "what is law", so he tries to unify it with the concept of "social control", analyzes the limitations of effective legal action, and concludes that "if law is the main means of social control today, it needs the support of pre-religion, morality, and education". Chapter 3, "The Task of Law," argues that the purpose of law is justice, that it satisfies as many people's interests as possible with the least amount of hindrance and waste, and distinguishes interests into three categories: "personal interests", "public interests", and "social interests".

Chapter 4, "The Problem of Value", puts forward the theory of legal value, emphasizing that although the problem of value is a difficult problem, it cannot be avoided by legal science, and analyzes and evaluates the three contemporary legal theories of value, and proposes "a truly reasonable method of value evaluation." ”
