وسائل الضبط الاجتماعي في الاسرة السورية ( دراسة ميدانية على عينة من الاسر في مدينة اللاذقية)

The ultimate goal of social control is to ensure stability of the social structure and to increase cohesion of society. So it is necessary to study social control in order to identify the means by which a community shapes the behavior of its members, and the means through which social order is maintained. Means of social control differ in quality and degree of effectiveness from one community to another and within the community itself. What is effective in a society may not be as effective in another community or society. For example, compared with traditions and customs, the law has a high level of effectiveness in developed societies, while the reverse is true in rural communities.
