Talk:Control theory (sociology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Criminological Control Theory

The statement made on this page in relation to control theory as used by criminologists is not only too small but completely inaccurate. McLaghlin & Muncie note "From this perspective [control theory] human nature is assumed to be anti-social- a view borrowed directly from Thomas Hobbe's (1985 [1651], p.188) description of life in a world without externally imposed control as 'a war of every man against every man'" I propose creating a specific "Control Theory (Criminology)" page where this hugely influencial paradigm can be elaborated upon fully. Please post here if you wish to contribute. Martinq22 (talk) 14:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
