Whats a subculture ?
The Theory
- Culture; a shared acknowledgment of the same beliefs, values, morals, art, laws and customs.
- Subculture: according to Wolfgang and Ferracuti, subculture is "a normative system of some group or groups smaller than the whole society."
- Within these subcultures, it is implied that "there are value judgments or a social value system which is apart from and a part of a larger or central value system."
- In 1967, Wolfgang and Franco Ferracuti published "The Subculture of Violence. They came up with their hypothesis of subculture of violence based upon violence in Philadelphia.
- A subculture of violence refers to a set of norms, values, or attitudes that exist within a group and in which violence is an accepted part of the lifestyle of that group.
- To these subcultures, violence is a way of life.

Accepting the goals and rejecting the meas.
- The Hell's Angels, Latin King's, Bloods/Crips and the Kray brothers are a few examples of violent subcultures.
- Like most people they accept the goals.
- Like most criminals they reject the means.
- When a subculture accepts these goals while rejecting the means, it is very possible that it will result in a subcultur of violence.
