Moving beyond his 1989 book, "Control: Sociology's Central Notion", Jack Gibbs develops in this new book a theory of control in all its biological, technological, and human dimensions. His treatment goes beyond conventional ideas about social control to show why self-control and proximate control are essential to understanding human interaction. He also argues that thinking of control in terms of the counteraction of deviance is insufficient.
