Social_Control_And_Regulatory_Mechanism encompasses the systematic processes, institutions, and practices through which societies maintain order, enforce norms, and regulate behaviour to ensure conformity with established rules and expectations. This category represents the coercive and normative apparatus that societies develop to prevent deviance, punish violations, and maintain social stability. These mechanisms operate as realizable entities that can be activated when norm violations occur, representing the potential for societies to respond to threats to social order through both formal institutional responses and informal social sanctions. The category includes both the legal framework that provides formal rules and procedures for addressing deviance, as well as broader social control processes that operate through everyday interactions and community responses. These mechanisms demonstrate how societies balance individual autonomy with collective order, establishing boundaries of acceptable behaviour and consequences for transgression. The regulatory dimension captures how these control mechanisms not only punish deviance but also serve preventive functions by establishing clear expectations and demonstrating the consequences of norm violation to the broader community.
