In 'Code of the Street,' Elijah Anderson delves into the dynamics of inner-city life, particularly in poor African American neighborhoods. The book explores the 'code of the street,' an informal set of rules that regulates public behavior, including violence, as a response to lack of economic opportunities, systemic racism, and social disorganization. Anderson argues that this code emphasizes respect and reputation, often through aggressive behavior and self-protection, and discusses how it affects family dynamics, neighborhood interactions, and the educational system. The book is based on extensive field research in Philadelphia and provides a nuanced understanding of the social and cultural factors influencing crime and violence in these communities[2][3][4].
