Reckless The Origins of Control Theory 1899–1988 Ohio State University Author of Containment Theory he most important step in the solution to a problem,theoretical or otherwise,lies T in asking the right questions about it. The proper formulation of the problem often may make the answer obvious.At the very least, asking the right question in the right way will contribute greatly to a solution.Asking the wrong question,or asking the right question in the wrong way,will result in no progress at all,although there may be an illusion of getting somewhere. Unfortunately, the first step also usually is the most difficult one. Not only does it require a thorough understanding of the nature of the situation with which one is faced, but it also demands the capacity to think about it in new and creative ways. Because one is not likely to ask questions about aspects of the situation that one takes for granted, different criminologists have been led to see very different questions as the key to an understanding of crime and delinquency. What one takes for granted needs no explanation, but what one takes for granted depends on assumptions—in this case, assumptions about human nature and social order. Most criminologists have taken conformity for granted as part of the natural order of things and have concentrated on trying to explain the “crime problem.”As we have seen, they have found their explanations in spirits and demons, in theories tracing the non- conformity to individual factors such as biological abnormalities or personality defects, or in theories tracing the nonconformity to social factors such as social disorganization, subcultural traditions,and inequality of opportunity,all of these being factors presumed 79 05-Lilly-45064.qxd 11/28/2006 8:05 PM Page 80 80 CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY to operate so as to distort the natural order of conformity. But is conformity really the natural order of things? To what extent should it be taken for granted? By the time a person is a certain age, he or she speaks a certain language shared by others, drives a car in general obedience to traffic regulations, avoids urination or defe- cation in public, and in most other ways “goes along.” All this tends to be taken for granted,but the evidence indicates that it is not at all “natural”(Davis,1948).In fact,great effort is expended by parents, teachers, and the individual involved in a concerted effort to produce these results. Viewed in this way, all of this conformity is a striking thing much in need of explanation.That is the focus of control theory, which takes the position that because conformity cannot be taken for granted, nonconformity such as crime and delinquency is to be expected when social controls are less than completely effective. In this sense, control theory is not so much a theory of deviance as a theory of con- formity. It does not ask the question,“Why do people commit crimes and acts of delin- quency?”Rather,it suggests that crime and delinquency are going to occur unless people conform to all of the social demands placed on them and then asks,“Why do people con- form?” That is, if crime is gratifying—fun, exciting, physically enjoyable, emotionally satisfying,and/or materially rewarding—why don’t individuals just break the law? From this perspective on human nature and social order,the potential gratifications offered by crime and delinquency will be resisted only when sociocultural controls are operating effectively to prevent such behavior. Control theory has been at the center of American criminology for the better part of a century—so much so that we devote two chapters to this perspective. Much of its appeal is the simplicity of its main theoretical premise: When controls are present, crime does not occur; when controls are absent,crime is possible and often does occur. Except for the fact that control and crime can be measured independently and the strength of the relationship assessed empirically, there is a tautological quality to this thesis: The very existence of crime seems as persuasive evidence that controls have been rendered ineffective. Although the organizing premise of control theory is simple—no control permits crime—the perspectives that fall under the umbrella of the control paradigm offer a complex view of how control is linked to criminal conduct.In this chapter,we explore the thinking of early control theorists, selecting those scholars whose work still resonates today.These include Albert Reiss’s insights on personal and social controls, F.Ivan Nye’s work on family controls,Walter Reckless’s influential containment theory,Gresham Sykes and David Matza’s revelations about techniques of neutralization, and Matza’s extension of that collaboration into his theory of delinquency and drift. In Chapter 6, we chiefly explore the work of Travis Hirschi, arguably the most influ- ential criminologist of the past half century. Hirschi developed two dominant control perspectives: first his social bond theory and then, in conjunction with Michael Gottfredson,self-control theory.We also consider some more recent variants of control theory that present more complex ideas on how control is implicated in crime and delinquency: Hagan’s power-control theory,Tittle’s control balance theory,and Colvin’s differential coercion theory.Finally,at the end of Chapter 6,we review the policy impli- cations of control theory. Before embarking on this excursion across control theory, however, we first exam- ine some forerunners of modern control theory.As in Chapters 3 and 4, here we stress 05-Lilly-45064.qxd 11/28/2006 8:05 PM Page 81 Society as Insulation 81 the significance of the work of Durkheim and the Chicago school.Both bodies of work remain rich sources of ideas about both human nature and social order. It is not surprising to find that they also contributed much to the reconsideration of the basic assumptions about the relationship between human nature and social order. This marked the development of control theory. Forerunners of Control Theory DURKHEIM’S ANOMIE THEORY The origins of contemporary control theories of crime and delinquency are to be found in part in the work of French sociologist Émile Durkheim, in the same body of theory that inspired Merton’s analysis of anomie as a source of crime (see Chapter 4). Durkheim’s work was a product of the late 19th century, a period that had seen dra- matic social change in the wake of the industrial revolution. He described anomie not simply as “normlessness”but as the more or less complete collapse of social solidarity itself, the destruction of the fundamental bonds uniting individuals in a collective social order so that each person is forced to go it alone.Technological change had com- bined with the rise of capitalism, and the old world of agrarian society,in which farm- ers and herders lived simply in face-to-face relationships with interests in common, was rapidly giving way to a more complex, urban, technologically sophisticated social system. The sense of community was being eroded; the large extended family consist- ing of many relatives working together was being torn apart and replaced with the new nuclear family of parents alone with their children, and the pace of life was accelerat- ing with an increasing division of labor separating different individuals into occupa- tional specialties. Describing London in 1844, Karl Marx’s friend and collaborator, Friedrich Engels, painted the picture as follows: The restless and noisy activity of the crowded streets is highly distasteful and is surely abhorrent to human nature itself. Hundreds of thousands of men and women drawn from all classes and ranks ofsociety pack the streets ofLondon....Yet they rush past each other as if they had nothing in common.They are tacitly agreed on one thing only—that everyone should keep to the right of the pavement so as not to collide with the stream of people moving in the opposite direction. No one even thinks of sparing a glance for his neighbors in the streets....We know well enough that this isolation ofthe individual—this narrow-minded egotism—is everywhere the fundamental principle of modern society.(cited in Josephson & Josephson, 1962, p. 32) As we will see in Chapter 8,Marx and Engels saw this situation as a consequence of the underlying economic shifts that had generated capitalism. Writing in France later in the century, Durkheim disagreed. For him, the moral order was more fundamental than the economic order. The idea of social solidarity can be said to represent almost a religion to Durkheim (1933): 05-Lilly-45064.qxd 11/28/2006 8:05 PM Page 82 82 CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY Everything which is a source of solidarity is moral, everything which forces man to take account of other men is moral, everything which forces him to regulate his conduct through something other than the striving of his ego is moral, and morality is as solid as these ties are numerous and strong. (p. 398) The Importance of Integration and Regulation. In Durkheim’s (1897/1951) view,social sol- idarity was maintained by two distinct sets of social functions: those involving integration and those involving regulation. Integration was described as a state of cohesion amount- ing to a common “faith” sustained by collective beliefs and practices leading to strong social bonds and the subordination of self to a common cause. For Durkheim, collective activity was what gave purpose and meaning to life.When integrative functions failed,the “collective force of society”was weakened,“mutual moral support”was eroded, and there was a “relaxation of social bonds”leading to extreme individualism (pp.

Religion and Reform in the City: The Re-Thinking Chicago Movement of the 1930s JACOB H. DORN Historians have produced a rich and sophisticated literature on urban reform in the progressive era before the First World War. It includes numerous studies of individual cities, biographies of urban leaders, and analyses of particular movements and organizations. This literature illu- minates important variations among reformers and their achievements, the relationships between urban growth and reform, and the functional role of the old-style political machines against which progressives battled. Similarly, there are many examinations of progressive-era reformers' ideas about and attitudes toward the burgeoning industrial cities that had come into being with disquieting rapidity during their own lifetimes. Some of these works go well beyond the controversial conclusions of Morton and Lucia White in The Intellectual Versus the City (1964) to find more complex-and sometimes more positive-assessments of the new urban civilization.' Substantially less is known about efforts to reform particular cities and about the ideas and attitudes of urban intellectuals in the interwar years, especially the 1930s.

American Sociology and the Genealogy of its Missing Women on Wikipedia Wei Luo, Julia Adams and Hannah Brueckner “People just don't vanish and so forth.” “But she has.” “What?” “Vanished.” “Who?” “The old dame.” … “But how could she?” “What?” “Vanish.” “I don't know.” “That just explains my point. People just don't disappear into thin air.” --- Alfred Hitchcock, The Lady Vanishes (1938)1 INTRODUCTION In comparison to many academic disciplines, sociology has been relatively open to women since its founding, and seems increasingly so. Yet many notable female sociologists are missing from the public history of American sociology, both print and digital. The rise of crowd- sourced digital sources, particularly the largest and most influential, Wikipedia, seems to promise a new and more welcoming approach.

  • The Chicago School of Sociology 1915-1940 Between 1915 And
    Mapping the Young Metropolis: The Chicago School of Sociology 1915-1940 Between 1915 and 1940, a small faculty in the University of Chicago Department of Sociology, working with dozens of talented graduate students, intensively studied the city of Chicago . They aspired to use the approaches of social science in developing a new field of research, and they took the city as their laboratory. Chicago was the ideal place for such an effort: in the last half of the nineteenth century it had grown from a population of 30,000 in 1850, to 1,700,000 in 1900, probably faster than any city in history. More than one-third of the population had been born abroad, in Germany, Poland, Ireland, Italy, and dozens of other countries. It had a panoply of social problems, such as prostitution, drunkenness, hoboes, and boys' gangs. The Department of Sociology faculty sent students out into Chicago's "real world" to collect information. They employed all sorts of research methods—they refined existing ones, such as censuses, surveys and mapping, and they invented new ones, such as the personal life history. They described and analyzed what they had seen. The Chicago sociology faculty wrote books, such as The Polish Peasant in Europe and America. Graduate students in sociology wrote dissertations, many of which became books published by the University of Chicago Press. Notable among them are The Ghetto, The Hobo, The Gang, and The Gold Coast and the Slum. Many of the books became sociological classics. Prior to this work, sociology was for the most part a combination of history and philosophy, an armchair discipline.

Yeatts, Chair of the Department of Sociology David W. Hartman, Dean of the School of Community Service C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Roberts, Joanne, Family Rituals and Deviant Behavior, Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology), August 2002, 196 pp., 18 tables, 1 illustration, references, 135 titles. Many researchers have sought to identify the antecedents of deviant behavior. The purpose of this study was to explore whether family rituals might contribute to social control, and thereby reduce deviant behavior. Walter Reckless’ containment theory provided the theoretical framework for the study. This theory suggests that both inner and outer containment variables control social behavior. It was proposed that meaningful family rituals would contribute to the development of inner and outer containment, and therefore, reduce the number of deviant behaviors committed by the respondents. In this study, the inner containment variable was self-esteem, and the outer containment variables were participation in conforming activities with family members both inside and outside the home, and participation in extracurricular activities. Two hundred and seven incarcerated respondents and 217 college students responded to three survey instruments, the Family Rituals Questionnaire, the Culture Free Self-Esteem Inventory, and a Family Information Inventory. Findings indicated that the college students reported experiencing more meaningful family rituals than the incarcerated respondents.
