Descrição:

Code of the streets
Ethnography of inner-city disadvantaged Black Philadelphia neighborhoods
Hyper-poverty in specific places generate criminogenic cultural adaptations
“Code of the streets” was a response to crime, not a cause
Economic marginalization is a key source of high crime rates
in Black communities
Most families in these ghettos are “decent;” they do NOT commit crime, even in the face of serious disadvantage
Poor sense of community, lack of parental monitoring, and victimization and threats→ hopelessness → street code adoption → crime
