But drugs are used everywhere-even in upscale suburbs and top-tier high schools-and teenage users in the suburbs tend to buy drugs from their peers, dealers who have their own culture and code, distinct from their urban counterparts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eCode of the Suburb\u003c\/i\u003e, Scott Jacques and Richard Wright offer a fascinating ethnography of the culture of suburban drug dealers. Drawing on fieldwork among teens in a wealthy suburb of Atlanta, they carefully parse the complicated code that governs relationships among buyers, sellers, police, and other suburbanites. That code differs from the one followed by urban drug dealers in one crucial respect: whereas urban drug dealers see violent vengeance as crucial to status and security, the opposite is true for their suburban counterparts. As Jacques and Wright show, suburban drug dealers accord status to deliberate avoidance of conflict, which helps keep their drug markets more peaceful-and, consequently, less likely to be noticed by law enforcement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Offering new insight into both the little-studied area of suburban drug dealing, and, by extension, the more familiar urban variety, \u003ci\u003eCode of the Suburb\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to scholars and policy makers alike.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44083414237229,"sku":"WHS-c035d0aab8a84a12beddde2043735ec0","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_98bb62c7-9977-4677-912a-6b563e57f7a7.jpg?v=1755503551","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/code-of-the-suburb-inside-the-world-of-young-middle-class-drug-dealers","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
