 Some social philosophers have played a role in the development of social control such as Thomas Hobbes in his work "Leviathan" that discusses social order and how the state exerts this using civil and military power; as well as Cesare Beccaria's "On crimes and punishments" that argues that people will avoid criminal behavior if their acts result in harsher punishment, stating that changes in punishment will act as a form of social control.Sociologist Èmile Durkheim also explored social control in the work "The Division of Labor in Society" and discusses the paradox of deviance, stating that social control is what makes us abide by laws in the first place.Society uses certain sanctions to enforce a standard of behavior that is deemed socially acceptable.
