- W2515674732 abstract "Participation in street-life structures and creates opportunities for acquiring a cache of illicit goods. While cash is the primary means of obtaining illegal drugs, more innovative ‘ hustles ’ have recently emerged. Specifi cally, one strategy involves individuals exchanging the temporary use of their vehicles for crack cocaine. We use in-depth interviews with 19 inmates and 27 active crack cocaine users to describe the social organization and interpersonal dynamics of this phenomenon, herein referred to as rock rentals. In addition, we examine how the rental contract is structured, vehicle owners ’ and borrowers ’ motivations for engaging in the trade and how violations are remedied. Hustler identities have for many years been embraced by persistent offenders and have captured the imagination of awestruck newcomers to ‘ the game ’ . The term ‘ hustler ’ has been used consistently for at least 100 years ( Shover 1996 ) and, although hustling has evolved and varies in form, trappings and associated crimes, there are common themes associated with the art: conspicuous displays of independence, the uncanny ability to succeed through crime and a talent for trading in illicit markets. Hustling includes a broad range of unconventional activities, both extralegal and illegal, that are typically frowned upon by law-abiding citizens but are widely accepted and practised among adherents of street culture ( Valentine 1978 ). Interviews with hustlers inform us that these individuals are continually on the lookout for new and easier ways to make money. Hustlers are dedicated to their craft and are prepared to seize emerging opportunities. Specifi cally, experience has taught them the importance of being able to recognize and exploit unconventional ways to earn money that may go unnoticed by others. Their larceny sense provides them with the know-how to secure not only drugs and cash, but also a variety of resources, including food, transportation and a place to rest ( Maher et al. 1996 ). Thus, when it comes to earning money or acquiring desired goods, hustlers are only limited by their imaginations, cunning and willingness to exploit opportunities. Developing the ability to hustle effectively is also integral to succeeding on the streets and is especially advantageous, and often necessary, for those addicted to drugs. Specifi cally, persons spending the bulk of their time on the streets often fi nd themselves short on resources. Thus, securing money for drugs become a central part of addicts ’ daily routines. However, obtaining cash to fund prolonged drug use can be quite challenging. To ensure that their habits can be maintained and to avoid the debilitating effects of withdrawal, chronic drug users have fi ne-tuned their hustling skills." @default.
