Answer: Social control theory

Explanation: The concept of social control theory hinges on the fact that individuals are usually prone to misbehave and engage in socially unacceptable acts. Hence, it is the onus of the society to ensure that this acts if misdemeanor or crime are curtailed using well established social structures such as enforced rules and regulations capable of instilling moral values and behavior in other to ensure that individuals exhibit socially acceptable character which reduces the propensity to engage in criminal and delinquent acts.
