{"product_id":"9781617618864","title":"Code of the Street","description":"For several decades, researchers have studied the race\/violence relationship. A number of explanations have been put forth to clarify the forces at play behind this relationship. Elijah Anderson, a professor of sociology currently at Yale University, presents a compelling argument for the high rates of violence among African-American adolescents. In his \"code of the street\" thesis, Anderson argues that the economic disadvantage, social dislocation and racial discrimination encountered by some African-American adolescents foster deviant, anti-social attitudes (ie: a street code) and developmental pathways that are related to violent behaviour. This book explores the research into the validity of the \"code of the street\" theory.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers, Inc (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65429131428189,"sku":null,"price":139.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781617618864.jpg?v=1789215801","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781617618864","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
