Social control refers to the ways in which societies regulate human behavior through norms, rules, laws, and social structures. It is exercised through both internal means, such as socialization and conformity to social norms, and external means like sanctions and pressure from others to control individual behavior. The key agencies of social control include religion, education, law, public opinion, family, and neighbors.
