JUS 506 Cultural Deviance and Crime
According to cultural deviance theorists like Cohen, deviant subcultures have their own value system that
often opposes those of society at large. These contradictory "values" have been embraced by generations
within that culture—and as a way to act out against the majority value system from which they feel excluded.
Write an essay of 750-1,000 words that addresses the following:
1. How has rap culture perpetuated subcultural values, and promoted violence and crime among young men?
2. Given its sharp deviation from conventional values and norms, how and why would theorists explain the
persistence and popularity of this subculture? (See examples Tupac Shakur page 121-122 and 50 Cent page
150-151).
Be sure to cite three to five relevant scholarly sources in support of your content. Use only sources found at
the GCU Library, government websites or those provided in Class Resources.
