Code of the Street: Effecting Youths’ Behavior

Overall theory Andrea Allen and Celia Lo wanted to plan a study to analyze the behavior of young men, especially black city men who were imprisoned or attending school, based on Elijah Anderson's Street Code It was. According to Anderson, the obvious problem in the downtown community is that they are managed by violence and unspecified road codes. At first glance, the street code is about self - imagination and appearance as well as toughness, and this simple concept of street defines a person.

Yale University professor Elijah Anderson's book "The Code of The Street" reveals common problems in today's town. Street codes mainly influence the behavior and behavior of many young people in downtown area. In the city center, Anderson showed that there are many social problems such as high unemployment rate, teen pregnancy and so on. According to him, the main force behind these road laws is racial discrimination, but this behavior is accelerated by existing economic and political orders of the city (Anderson 34)

Elijah Anderson's "street code" refers to a series of informal rules that affect public behavior and classifies people living in "street" and "decent" families to form the inner. Sense - city life. "Decent" families, unlike families with dysfunctional "streets" that seem to be not interested in children's lives, work hard, have mainstream values, make them penetrate children I will. A decent family seems more civilized, but the street family is anger and offensive against children. These children often use the term "work hard" when talking about childhood. This has led to people who grew up with "Street" families who are more likely to commit crime just because their parents did not participate in their lives. They are usually children who are late "hanging on the street".

Measures largely related to violence. Analysis was done to investigate the neighborhood background for subsequent violence, family characteristics, racial discrimination, and street code effects. The results in Chart 3 show that he is a male, connected with violent fellows, experienced discrimination, experienced a life in the community characterized by violence and disadvantage, using graph 4 to obtain an advanced logistic regression result It is represented by a graph. It is variable. Among the variables examined, the use of road codes has the greatest impact on violence. This is consistent with Anderson's claim that the street code is closely related to the increase in violence.
