Explain The Control Theory Sociologist Walter Reckless

I think the theory that best explains our current issues in the United States is the control theory that Sociologist Walter Reckless developed. Control theory emphasized that we have two control systems that tries to stop us from deviating away from mainstream. These two control systems are like our superego. It represents our moral thoughts and conscience influenced by our environment. One control system is called the inner controls which are our own moral thoughts. The second control system is called our outer controls, which is the influence we get from people around us. Police also influences us to not deviate from the norms because of the formal laws created by political officers. Our environment has a great impact in our lives. People
that surrounds us will influence or shape our attitudes, behaviors, and moralities. They also unconsciously influences us to not deviate from the norms or else we would risk our degrading our social position(commitments). Sociologist Travis Hirschi summarized this theory as self-control. Self-control is our ability to control our own emotions and desires. It is up to ourselves if we follow our id,our desires, wants, and need, or if we listen to our ego that is checked by our superego.The best way to have strong self-control is good socialization in childhood. We are an individualistic country and so it just makes sense that lack of self-control is to blame for our current crime issues. It is the main reason behind criminal behaviors. The criminals lost their self-control against their two control systems and commits a crime.
