Introduction: Social Control is the control of society over the individual. Some of man’s tendencies are beneficial to society while others are detrimental to the interests of the society. These harmful tendencies have to be controlled for the welfare of the society. Thus, social control is exercised by Society over the undesirable and harmful tendencies of man. Social control creates theses conditions in which man can be socialized and prevented from performing antisocial activities. Social and control includes all these processes, methods, mores, patterns etc. Which render assistance in this work. 1.
