S02 E15 — Social Control Theories of Crime (Roger Hopkins Burke)

S02 E15 — Social Control Theories of Crime (Roger Hopkins Burke)

In this season finale, we delve into Chapter 15 of An Introduction to Criminological Theory by Roger Hopkins Burke, focusing on social control theories — a foundational approach in criminology that shifts the question from “why do people commit crimes?” to “what keeps them from doing so?”

🔒 Key themes include:

  • The philosophical roots of social control, tracing back to Hobbes, Freud, and Durkheim
  • Early contributions from Reiss, Toby, Nye, and Reckless, integrating both psychological containment and social bonding
  • A deep dive into Travis Hirschi’s Social Bond Theory, with its four key elements: attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief
  • Critical discussion on empirical support, limitations, and the theory’s individualistic bias
  • Exploration of later frameworks like Power-Control Theory, Control Balance Theory, and Differential Coercion Theory, which add depth and complexity to our understanding of social regulation and criminal behavior

This episode brings our season full circle — from classical rationality to contemporary complexities — helping CSS aspirants build a strong, nuanced grasp of the control-based view of conformity and deviance.
