Rap and Crime ft. Charis Kubrin
Manage episode 303334790 series 2987705
Charis E. Kubrin is a Professor of Criminology, Law and Society and (by courtesy) Sociology at the University of California, Irvine. She holds a Ph.D from the University of Washington, and is also a member of the Racial Democracy, Crime and Justice Network. Her research focuses on neighbourhood correlations with crime, especially looking at race and violent crime. One of her lines of research explores the intersection of music, culture, and social identity, particularly as it applies to hip hop and youth of colour in disadvantaged communities, which we broadly discuss on this episode.
You can find out more about her Charis's research work on the UC Irvine faculty page. Be sure to check out her TED Talk, The Threatening Nature of Rap Music, which we specifically discuss on this episode.
