Types of Control
Preliminary Control

resources to be used and the quantities, types, and quality of the inputs.

The best-known form of concurrent control is direct supervision. When a

as an interpretation of events and interests, it is the path to social change. The
social cognition or the perspective of deviant behavior correctly has a
a scheme of stereotypes and value judgments in its non-scientific version, and it is possible and
habitual as professional scientific knowledge; it is indeed impossible to have a society without
norms and the issue is their precise nature and the mechanisms for the case, without burdening with
more additional problems, only the common good with a functional regulation for the
social order. Since control is important, there must also be control over the
controllers with a consensus on regulations for a balance of powers and controls,
that is not repressive in its attitude.

Persuasive social control for achieving conformity mainly works with


ideas and values, which translate into respectful attitudes towards the norms. There is a tendency towards a
free moral, optional, personalized, fewer rules and with less control.
