Social control and education

by Brian Meredith Davies

Social control is a central sociological concept which has generated many influential models of man in society. This book examines these major models, and examines the rise of compulsory schooling in Britain and the USA and shows us which aspects of education and social control have been elaborated or neglected in the sociology of education down to the mid 1970s.
