Question

Kina is a 17-year-old woman. to discourage her from becoming deviant, her parents encouraged her to attend church, study hard, and believe that "nice girls finish first." kina's parents are also sociologists. kina's parents most likely subscribe to which theory of deviance?

Answer 1

Kina's parents most likely subscribe to "Social control theory".

Social control theory recommends that individuals' connections, responsibilities, qualities, standards, and convictions urge them not to infringe upon the law. Accordingly, if moral codes are internalized and people are tied into and have a stake in their society, they will deliberately confine their tendency to commit divergent actions.
