Introduction:
Part 3
"Social control is most effective at the individual level. The personal conscience is the key element in ensuring self-control, refraining from deviant behavior even when it can be easily perpetrated. The family, the next most important unit affecting social control, is obviously instrumental in the initial formation of the conscience and in the continued reinforcement of the values that encourage law abiding behavior. Unfortunately, because of the reduction of influence exerted by neighbors, the extended family and even the family, social control is now often more dependent on external control, than on internal self-control." (Dr. Robert Trojanowicz, Community Policing: The meaning of "Community" in Community Policing) This by the man who facilitated the COPS program, who advocated using crime to gain access to (and control over) the community, engendering a police state ("external control") over the people. If you have a guilty conscience for doing wrong, which originates from the traditional family, then you do not need a "police state," i.e., "sight based management," i.e., somebody watching over you at all times, i.e., cameras on every street corner and in every store in order to stop you from committing a crime. You will not commit a crime because committing a crime (or being deviant) is wrong, i.e., your conscience with bother you. "The community of interest generated by crime, disorder and fear of crime becomes the goal to allow community policing officers [international law and global enforcement] an entry into the geographic community [with regionalism superseding local, township, city, county, state, national control]." (ibid.) Dialectic 'reasoning' makes itself known by blaming the crimes (crisis) of the day upon social, economic, and environmental conditions without recognizing the heart of man, i.e., man's need to repent, i.e., the father's/Father's authority system.
