Reviews

“Professor Chriss has written a theoretically informed and far-ranging account of the origins, types, and functions of social control in human society. Key concepts are reinforced by relevant present-day case studies. Highly recommended.” William C. Cockerham, Emeritus, University of Alabama, and College of William and Mary “Chriss reminds us that social control, the flip side of deviance, is central to social life; all societies practice it, from the pinnacle of the power structure to all of us at the grassroots, in our interactions with others on a one-to-one basis.” Erich Goode, Emeritus, Stony Brook University
