Negative social control

Negative social control is defined as pressure, supervision, threats or coercion that systematically restricts someone in their life and repeatedly prevents them from making independent choices about their life and future. For example, this applies to the individual’s self-determination over their identity, body, sexuality, freedom to choose friends, leisure activities, religion, dress, education, job, boyfriend/girlfriend and spouse, and to ask for health care.
