Is the Code of the Street An Instance of Law This paper discusses whether or not the tacit code of inner-city behavior, discussed in Elijah Anderson's Code of the Street, is actually an instance of law. Since the book presents the "code" as a tacit body of social knowledge that has not, or cannot, be written out and standardized, the author concludes that it does not fall into the category of law. 6 pgs.
