What are the major points of Walter Reckless's containment theory?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: [key points to be made]
*Attempts to explain both conformity and deviance
*Two types of containment: inner and outer
*Inner is self-control and discipline, regulated by personal ethos and values, having a healthy ego that isn't pressured by peers negatively, will behave even when no one is watching
*Outer control is provided by others, teachers, parents, coaches, authority figures
*Kids with low inner are at higher risk for delinquency even with outer because you aren't watched or supervised all the time; control has to come from within
