The need for control is omnipresent in an imperfect society. The psychological answer is that for some people who control others there is a personal/emotional gain. The majority of the time it is for self-gratification. That is usually based on a low self-esteem and poor upbringing. If those needs happen to coincide with the good of all, that is fine. However, that is usually not the case.
