    • How are cultural values important in regard to delinquency and crime?
    • How do laws reflect cultural views and values?
  • How might an understanding of subcultures help explain how cultural values influence behavior? Consider the following in your response:
    • What is a subculture?
    • What causes a subculture to emerge?
    • How is a subculture comparable to two countries with different criminal laws? What are the significant differences?
  • How do subcultural theories explain criminal behavior?

Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:

  • Describe the connections (correlations) between culture and criminal behavior.
  • Analyze the importance of subculture in terms of understanding how cultural values influence behavior.
  • Describe how subcultural theories explain criminal behavior.
