When is it beneficial to let SharePoint group members manage themselves?

How do you know if members of a SharePoint group should manage themselves or if the owner of the group should maintain control and manage the group?

I don't think it's a good idea to let members manage the group. It will be a free for all and potentially expose sensitive information to the wrong people.

Unless it's a very mature audience on a site that's mostly social with low business risk, I think it's better to have the Site Owners keep control of who gets added and removed.

One would need to make real sure all the members have been properly trained in understanding the risks of that type of access if it is to be granted.
