Social control within a complex adaptive system is analyzed through the concept of requisite system variety in order to develop a conceptualization to assess the impact of various correctional modalities on social system viability. It is thus possible to critique contemporary strategies of criminal corrections in terms of their overall implication for social system change and to assess their potential contributions to long-run social system stability and adaptability.
通过必要系统多样性的概念分析复杂适应系统中的社会控制,以便形成一种概念化方法来评估各种矫正方式对社会系统生存能力的影响。因此,有可能从当代刑事矫正策略对社会系统变革的总体影响方面对其进行批判,并评估它们对长期社会系统稳定性和适应性的潜在贡献。
