social bond theory  

Definición

  • Social bond theory (sometimes called “social control theory”) diverges from some theories of deviant behavior that try to explain why people deviate, as it focuses on explaining why people conform to the extent that they do. The theory assumes that without social control in effect, people would deviate from societal norms. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Problems; Social Bond Theory]
