a category of people who share distinguishing attributes, beliefs, values, and/or norms that set them apart in some significant manner from the
dominant culture is referred to as
o a. subculture
o b. popular culture
o c. counterculture
o d. high culture

Explanation:

For question 41: The Uniform Crime Report has limitations. Not all crimes are reported to the police (e.g., unreported rapes, domestic violence not reported). So it cannot give an accurate account of all crimes.
For question 42: In Furman v. Georgia (1972), the Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty as it was being applied (arbitrary and discriminatory application) was cruel and unusual punishment (under the Eighth Amendment). It was not that the death penalty per se was unconstitutional, but the way it was being carried out.
For question 43: A sub - culture is a group within a larger culture that has its own distinct attributes, beliefs, etc. Popular culture is mainstream culture. Counter - culture actively opposes the dominant culture. High culture is associated with elite forms of art, music etc.

Answer:

1. False
2. b. is cruel and unusual punishment
3. a. subculture
