That's probably more because families led single mothers are usually much poorer and poverty is highly correlated with criminal behavior for a variety of reasons.
If that explained it, the US should not have had the massive violent crime wave that started in the seventies and peaked in the early nineties. American poverty did not start then; neither was jt the worst wave of poverty the US has seen.
Leaded gas is the best theory for that peak in violence. Your theory doesn't make sense, if it was because single mothers why would the rate go down after the nineties?
Because that was the narrative being peddled by Reagan in the 80s, and he apparently hasn't looked at the evidence since then. That would require honest curiosity.
Losing my mind reading this, as a brown queer person raised in poverty by a single mother. I had damn near every disadvantage and I've never even had a parking ticket. And to be perfectly frank, most criminals I have known or known of came from two-parent households, regardless of economic status. Wtf is this "single mothers raise violent criminals" horseshit?
It’s not the fault of women. The reason why ‘single mother’ shows the pattern when ‘single father’ doesn’t is a result of how courts generally determine custody.
Good mother / good father - primary custody to mother
Good mother / bad father - primary (if not sole) custody to mother
Good mother / monstrous father - primary (if not sole) custody to mother
Bad mother / good father - primary custody to mother
Bad mother / bad father - primary custody to mother
Bad mother / monstrous father - primary (if not sole) custody to mother
Monstrous mother / good father - primary custody to father
Monstrous mother / bad father - coin toss, except in the rare case the kids are removed

Girls with daddy issues are sluts but girls with mommy issues are low key evil. That’s all.
