The writing of this article aims searching the rich connotation of the concept of social control from classical sociological theory, and trying to inspire people to form a impression of "the social control ideology exists in the start-up phase of sociology as an inherent theory purport"As we established this impression about the concept of the social control, the article begins to make the operation of social control, and to explore its rich content from all angles. Then, based on the understanding of the concept of social control, we try to find the matching discusses out from Durkheim and Weber’s sociological theory.Text part goes in this way is arranged as follows:I will separate the two research lines were drawn from Durkheim and Weber’s sociological theory for social control related concepts, viewpoints.and then cross comparison.and the final attempt is try to integrated.First.
