THE ROLE OF CIVIL SANCTIONS IN

SOCIAL CONTROL: A SOCIO-LEGAL

EXAMINATION

Abstract: This chapter examines the concept of social control in discussions

of crime and deviance. Discussions of informal social control

identified the ways in which the management of deviance emerged

and was embedded in social relations: it was unplanned, unconscious,

automatic, private and often diffuse. This was then contrasted with

formal social control, most closely associated with the criminal justice

system which was planned, specific, public, and oriented to specific

individuals for their punishment or rehabilitation. Many theorists (for

example, Durkheim and Black) argue that formal social control will

gradually take over more of the responsibility of crime control in contemporary

society. Durkheim also points to the shift from repressive to

restitutive law. Current interest in crime prevention again focuses on

social relations as sources of crime management in addition to punishing

offenders. Using civil sanctions (including insurance) to encourage,

influence, require and even coerce people to modify what are perceived

to be opportunities for crime commission is an example. Crime

management is more indirect, more private and more diffuse, thus

having similarities with earlier descriptions of informal social control.

This chapter examines new developments in crime control, including

the establishment of alternative tribunals that are less formal than

criminal courts and that provide opportunities for community participation,

mediation and negotiation; situational crime prevention initiatives;

and the greater role of insurance.
