Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A) code of the streets; structural deprivation. This concept is based on the idea that in areas with a strong "code of the streets," a set of informal rules governing interpersonal public behavior, including violence, there is a higher victim-offender overlap. This overlap varies by neighborhood and is linked to how much individuals are attached to these codes and the level of structural deprivation (e.g., poverty, lack of access to services) in the area.
