Many of the terms mentioned in Goode's textbook are discussed in more detail in Pontell's reader. This is no accident. Concepts defined in this lesson will appear throughout the following lessons. One way to remember terms is to make a glossary by writing down each concept and its definition. You need to remember these concepts because they constitute the vocabulary used by sociologists, and you need to grasp this vocabulary to understand what sociologists are writing about deviance.
Social control is the flip side of deviant behavior.
One often causes the other. When people find behaviors or attributes offensive or reprehensible, they will often create laws, rules or norms that prohibit those bothersome behaviors or attributes and then attempt to ensure conformity by enforcing sanctions. The legislators want to publically punish prisoners from afar, whereas guards and wardens have to work with those prisoners and use television and weightrooms as rewards for cooperative inmates. Conversely, social control may cause deviant behavior. After reading Marx's article, you should be able to define each concept and give examples of how each one can cause deviance.
