Choose one of three delinquent youth subcultures (gangs, goth/punk, or straight edge). Using Excelsior's library resources, research the subculture you select by identifying academic sources (journal articles, federal and state agency reports, academic books and monographs, etc) as well as online content to present a descriptive overview. Your paper must:
- Describe the subculture's origins and history
- Identify the group's activities, focusing on delinquency and illegal behavior
- Incorporate one or more of the biological, psychological or sociological theories covered in the course to explain the subculture's existence
- And last, what society's response to the subculture should be including prevention recommendations.
