Deviant subculture and other subcultures

Abstract

This article aims to define the deviant subculture and other subcultures, in response to the following question: What are the characteristics of the subculture and the deviant subculture? To achieve this objective, the descriptive analytical method was used. Based on theoretical approaches and field studies of the characteristics of these cultures, it has been concluded that there are different subcultures of the total culture of society, differing among themselves according to the different circumstances that have led to its formation, such as youth culture, which is characterized by its participation in the dominant culture and the retention of other elements that distinguish it from other cultures, such as its demarcation from the subculture of delinquency and crime. Where did the distinction between deviant cultures appear, according to the different groups and social backgrounds? Therefore, more studies should be conducted on subcultures and the culture of deviation, in order to compare subcultures and reveal the reasons for the genesis of these cultures.
