According to Cloward and Ohlin's theory, there are three subcultures juveniles may enter:
Criminal subcultures
Conflict subcultures
Retreatist subcultures

Criminal subcultures gear towards organized crimes, where they commit criminal acts to climb the social ladder in the criminal world and are rewarded through financial means. 

Conflict subcultures on the other hand tend to do less serious crimes, but instead use violence as a way to gain respect.

Retreatist subcultures turn to drugs and alcohol, seeing themselves as rejects.

With that, the answer would be Conflict subcultures or a conflict gang.

The answer is conflict subculture. If a juvenile joins a gang in which he achieves his status through violence and toughness, then he is included in the conflict subculture.

 

EXPLANATION

Cloward and Ohlin believe in the differential opportunity theory. They made this theory explain that there are different kinds of criminal subcultures in America. People will want to achieve goals. Some people achieve goals through socially acceptable ways, but there are also differential opportunity structures that can be achieved through gang membership. Cloward and Ohlin believe that there are three kinds of deviant subculture:

1. Criminal subculture

In these subcultures, people can do organized crimes. People can be career criminals who socialize with other youths to join their criminal careers. This act can eventually result in material success.

2. Conflict subculture

This type of subculture is not an organized one, meanwhile, it was made by young people themselves. This type of gang claims its territory. They believe that having a lot of territories means a lot of power.

3. Retreats subculture

In this subculture, the people who are not able to have the legitimate or illegitimate opportunity have the possibility to drop out together but also have the possibility to be in a group together. These groups might end up doing drugs, etc.

The question stated that a juvenile joins a gang in which he achieves his status through violence and toughness, then he is included in the conflict subculture.

Applying material from Item A and your knowledge, evaluate the view that labelling and other in-school factors are the main caus
Fofino [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it does not include the material from Item A, we can say that yes, labeling and other in-school factors are the main cause of social class differences in educational achievement.

With so many students in school from different social classes, it seems difficult to put a limit on labeling. However, school authorities and teachers should pay closer attention to this issue because it affects children and their decision to continue to attend school. Labeling is also a cause of bullying in educational centers. So we have to consider this as a current issue that must be confronted.

Parents should play a key role in diminishing labeling, setting a good example in the house, and talking to their children about the importance of respect and tolerance.
