Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Social control is a term which had been effectively described by Emile Durkheim. These are those types of restrictions which have been posed on a group, community or a society by the ones who are in a position of authority such as the government.

Social control in a town is in the hands of a mayor, in a colony its at the hands of the tehsildar, in the village its usually in the hands of jirga or panchayat, i.e the small sects created, consisting of most important, respected people of the village who make the decisions.

In various places, various people control various laws.  The extent of social control differs from place to place. Usually social control is a type of control presented by controlling the norms and local customs. For instance, nobody can question the caste hierarchy created in towns and villages.

The agencies of formal control are family, religious institutions like  Church, Mosque, others include, schools, forces, the actual legislation.

Yes, they are indeed effective because they are regularly controlled and witnessed in many places.
