Social Control in Local Communities

Janez Jerovšek

Sažetak

distribution
of power. As a matter of fact the author, confronting different views of some
distingushed sociologists, points out that in developed industrial societies there is an
inclination toward autocratic systems of power and control. However, in all these
societies and on all levels there are small formal and informal groups which very
often exercise a, very large influence and »-power of control«. This is the consequence
of the fact, concludes the author, that by the formal institutionalization »-all old
structures in social life can not be immediatly liquidated«. Then the author tries to
confront the differencies of social control in developed and underdeveloped societies
and comes to the conclusion that these differencies predominantly depend upon the
reached level of development. In primitive local communities everybody know each
other, people are more oftenly in mutual contacts and »everybody feels the control
of his neighbours and all other villagers«. But in developed urban agglomerations
informal control »has not special function anymore«. All these theoretical viewpoints
on distribution of power between formal-institutional and informal groups the author
tries to illustrate by some direct investigations in order to establish that the intensity
of social control predominantly depends upon the size of the local communitiy.
