Verses from the Periphery : A Scoping Review of How the Potential Relationship Between Gangsta Rap and Deadly Violence Has Been Subscribed in Contemporary Studies (English)
Abstract [en]
In light of statements from societal actors, including police officers and politicians,suggesting a direct connection between gangsta rap and deadly violence, this thesis isconsidered both timely and significant. This scoping review therefore aimed to examine howa potential relationship between gangsta rap and deadly violence has been described inresearch published between 2020–2024. Through an analysis of eleven relevant academicjournals, it was found that the relationship between gangsta rap and deadly violence shouldnot be understood as direct but rather interpreted within the context of broader socioculturalfactors. These factors included structural racism, social and economic societal issues, as wellas the perceived authenticity of both artists and their lyrics. The results could be discussed inrelation to social learning theory. Finally, the study found that the subject would benefit fromfurther research, particularly through quantitative methods.
Abstract [sv]
Med bakgrund i uttalanden från samhällsaktörer såsom poliser och politiker beträffande attgangsterrappen direkt kan relatera till det dödliga våldet upplevs denna uppsats som viktigoch rätt i tiden. Denna scoping review ämnade därmed undersöka hur en eventuell relationmellan gangsterrap och dödligt våld beskrivits i forskning publicerad mellan 2020–2024.Genom analys av elva relevanta akademiska tidskrifter framkom det att relationen mellangangsterrap och dödligt våld inte bör förstås ha en direkt relation, utan snarare tolkas i ljusetav andra kontextuella faktorer. Dessa faktorer, eller ämnen, inkluderade strukturell rasism,sociala och ekonomiska samhällsproblem samt upplevd autenticitet i låttexterna och hosartisterna. Resultatet kunde diskuteras i relation till social inlärningsteori. Slutligen fannstudien att ämnet skulle gynnas av att vidare undersökas, inte minst kvantitativt.
