The Social Control Theory

You have just become a recipient of a one-hundred million dollar grant ($ 100,000,000) from a local philanthropist who wants to make his city a better and safer place to live for his grandchildren. Assuming you haven’t left for a non-extradition country, choose one of the following social process theories: Differential Association, Differential Reinforcement, Containment Theory, Social Control Theory, or Labeling. Develop a crime reduction and/or prevention policy that is based on this theory (you now have plenty of resources to develop a plan so think big!).

A 2007 study by two civil rights organizations further demonstrated the government’s emphasis on incarceration over education. Researchers found “the U.S. spent almost $70 billion annually on incarceration, probation and parole.” This figure represented a 127% increase from 1987 to 2007, dramatically outpacing the funding for higher education during the same time period (Porter, 2015). In addition, Mothers who give birth to children in poor conditions have really set the child up to be disadvantaged from the very beginning. Poor conditions, lack of nourishment and the use of alcohol and or drugs are a common occurrence and it influences the outcome of the child, which impacts it later on it
