Explanation: Social control is the norms and ways that contribute to the behavior and actions of people in accordance with certain social rules, which means that all actions, behaviors, thoughts are regulated by social norms, rules and laws. These laws and rules are enforced through social structures that establish certain relationships, values, obligations and beliefs that encourage people not to break the law. If certain social norms that are morally and ethically acceptable, then these norms, through the mentioned social structures, come down to the level of internal communities, permeate the mutual relations of people in the community, which will limit people's own tendency to commit crimes.
