This A Level resource bundle on Social Control and Social Order provides a foundational understanding of how societies maintain stability, regulate behaviour, and respond to deviance. The PDF summary outlines key theoretical perspectives—Functionalist, Marxist, Feminist, Interactionist, and Postmodernist—on the nature of social order and the mechanisms of both formal (e.g. police, courts) and informal (e.g. family, peer pressure) social control. The PowerPoint presentation explores how different forms of control operate, the role of value consensus, hegemonic power, and surveillance, and the impact of societal change on social cohesion. To develop analytical and essay-writing skills, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills activities, including theory-comparison tables, concept-matching tasks, and scenario-based application exercises. A focused podcast episode breaks down how social order is maintained—or challenged—in diverse societies, linking to topics like moral panics, anomie, and resistance. The question bank features a variety of structured and essay-style questions, with model answers to guide development of AO1, AO2, and AO3 skills. An interactive quiz helps reinforce key terms and theories through engaging formats that test both knowledge and application. Altogether, this resource set helps students grasp the complex relationship between norms, power, deviance, and societal stability—making it essential for understanding the core of crime and deviance in sociology.
