Definición

  • The “code of the street” represents modern criminology's influential subcultural statement on how life in inner-city America gives rise to increased levels of crime and deviance, particularly violence. Rooted in Elijah Anderson's ethnographic account of life in inner-city Philadelphia, the code is depicted as a reaction to an environment plagued by profound feelings of despair.
