Bohan Fan109053622Final Assignment Subject3Humans construct and use law to regulate and constrain their behavior in order to maintain the harmony and stability of society. However, sometimes criminals commit and succeed in committing crimes and engaging in inappropriate behavior due to lack of supervision and punishment. Nowadays, the power of social control is increasingly stronger in our society. Criminals make up only a small portion of the population in society, most people are well-behaved individuals who don't want other people to commit crimes. Instead of understanding why some people do bad things, well-mannered people know exactly why they don't. So they use all kinds of methods to show others what stops them from breaking the law, such as their dignity, their beliefs, their values ​​and their relationships. This group of people uses their own behaviors and reactions to certain behaviors to help reduce crime. In my opinion, social can sometimes also cause problems for society, because people always want others to have the same standards and opinions about a certain behavior or statement, but people are always different from each other, so sometimes the abuse of the power of social control and deep misunderstandings can arise. In my opinion, there are three most widely used ways of exercising social control: establishing an ethical pattern and standards, using judgment and reaction to make people feel a certain way (including feeling guilty and shame), using reward and punishment to control. behavior of others and lead people to become well-behaved people and stay away from crime.

This is reasonable, not all laws are common sense and are not well learned by everyone ... middle of paper ...... what others think of his decision, it may force him to think more completely and in depth. He will therefore be able to modify his behavior after the re-examination. From my point of view, these types of behavior and reaction include words, facial expressions are ways of connecting with others, these reactions can help people express their opinion and attitude better, help others to consider the consequences before doing things. This type of reactions are also effective against crime in a way, if a person sees a theft happening, shouting loudly and running towards the thief can turn the situation around and stop the crime. But if the person walks away quietly, it is less possible for the thief to stop the theft. Additionally, the diminished response to a crime or offense may also contribute to helping people change their behavior or stay away from the offense..
