Basic premises of conflict theory are "social, political, or material inequality of a social group". So essentially looking at inequality within certain groups.
Social learning theory posits that individuals learn behavior through observation and modeling of others, emphasizing the role of social interactions and reinforcement. In contrast, social control theory focuses on how individuals are constrained by social norms, values, and expectations to prevent them from engaging in deviant behavior. While social learning theory suggests behavior is learned through social processes, social control theory emphasizes the importance of social bonds and attachments in regulating behavior.
The components of the Social Control Theory are the family, the school, and the peer group.
Social conflict theory is also called conflict theory or critical theory. It emphasizes the role of power, inequality, and oppression in shaping social relationships and institutions.
The basic premise of social role theory is that the historical split of how labor is divided between men and women affects social behavior. Men and women have behavior based on stereotypes and the behavior is passed to future generations.
Edward A. Ross was a sociologist who focused on the concept of social control, which refers to the mechanisms and strategies societies use to regulate individual behavior. Ross believed that social control is essential for maintaining social order and stability, and that it can take both formal (laws, institutions) and informal (norms, values) forms. He also argued that social control can be coercive or persuasive, and is influenced by factors such as power dynamics and cultural norms.
The larger scale theories generally fall into the category called Macro theories and they are generally considered to be concerned with social structures and the effects of those structures on the human behavior while Micro theories are considered to be theories and are concerned with trying to explain the individual level causes of crime and delinquency.

Hirschi's control theory argues that individuals with strong social bonds are less likely to engage in deviant behavior. These social bonds include attachment to others, commitment to conformity, involvement in conventional activities, and belief in the moral validity of social norms. Stronger bonds lead to increased self-control and less likelihood of deviance.
Strengths of the Social Control Theory 1) Explains the role of social influece from the media, peers and parents 2) Covers a wider range of explanations such as the importance of cognitive factors rather than suggesting we have no control Weaknesses of the Social Control Theory 1)Reductionist- could be other factors affecting behaviour such as genetics 2) Its questionable whether vicarious reinforcements are consistent enough to change behaviour
