| Fatherless children, dangerous cities: Numbers confirm deep roots of urban crime epidemic |
| 2023-02-08 |
| [JustTheNews] High rates of crime, single-parent homes largely overlap, data confirms. As Just the News recently reported, the U.S. is now home to 11 of the top 50 most dangerous cities in the world. All 11, as the piece noted, are governed by Democratic mayors. All 11 also have Democratic district attorneys. Permissive criminal justice policies are widely thought to be large factors driving such grim statistics. Dig a little deeper, however, and an even more important cause of the crime epidemic plaguing blue cities comes into sharp focus: Many of these cities are also home to a staggering percentage of single-parent households, the great majority of which are headed by single mothers. This large overlap shouldn't be surprising for two reasons. First, the U.S. has the highest rate of single-parent households in the world. Second, the connection between single-parent households and crime is very strong. According to research carried out by Jerrod Brown, a behavioral specialist at Concordia St. Paul, the extant literature "suggests that children raised in single-parent households experience more physical and psychological problems compared to those raised in two-parent households." Moreover, he added, the "implications of homes in which fathers are absent may be important to explore for criminal justice and mental health professionals." There are roughly 74 million children in the U.S. Close to 24 million, or 34%, of these children live in a single-parent family. Of these, 15 milÂlion live in mothÂer-only houseÂholds. As Jack Brewer noted in a report last year for the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a public policy think tank founded by Trump administration alumni, 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions and 85% of youth in prisons now come from fatherless homes. Fatherless children, according to the report, "are six times more likely to live in poverty and commit criminal acts than children raised in dual-parent households." Detroit, now the world's 19th most dangerous city, is the United States' poorest city, according to World Population Review. As Money Talks News previously reported, Detroit, home to 632,000 people, has 44,234 single-parent households. Seventy-two percent of the city's families are single-parent families. Fifty-nine percent of the city's families are headed by a single mother. The corresponding numbers for Cleveland, also among the 50 most dangerous cities, are comparably bad, with 73.3% of the city's families headed by a single parent and 58% headed by a single mother. In Baltimore, the United States' most dangerous city and the 15th most dangerous in the world, 52.7% of the city's families are single-parent households. Only 7.6% of single-parent homes are headed by a father. In Memphis, the world's 18th most dangerous city, 63% of the city's families are headed by a single parent. Less than 10% have a single father at the helm. As measured by a range of indicators, the impact of growing up in a fatherless home is simply devastating. As AFPI has emphasized:
Research consistently shows that children raised in supportive environments where both parents are present, both physically and mentally, are less likely to engage in deviant behavior. Anti-social behaviors at an early age are a strong predictor of criminal activity in adulthood. If crime, incarceration and poverty rates are driven predominantly by racism, as left-wing, "antiracist" big-city mayors and DAs are wont to claim, then crime, poverty and and incarceration rates should be lowest in the least racist cities, which would presumably be those blue cities left-wing "antiracists" themselves have long controlled. Instead, it is in blue-dominated, "antiracist" cities where crime, incarceration and poverty rates are highest. Systemic fatherlessness, the numbers continue to show, not systemic racism, is the deep-rooted source of runaway urban crime in the U.S. |

| #21 For the best. Those are the men who will be available to rebuild after this clown show folds, but that happens only if they are willing to do so. That is a tough call. I have a granddaughter Mundi who I watch weekly so my position is fixed. |

| #20 ^ But us guys are still here, just no longer in harness to some nasty ingrate. Works for me. I do get that some people worry about their kids, grandkids or the future of humanity, but I'm out of that loop my own self. |

| #19 ^ Very true, and that was the goal. Whether by hook or crook, the men had to go. And the women who knew better, who could have stood up, didn't. They sat down and those screechy creatures siezed power in the vacuum that was left. |

| #18 The old feminist saw is that if there were no men, the world would be full of fat, happy women. YMMV on the fat part, but as a man, once you have opted out of bothering with the screechy creatures, you will certainly be more happy. |

| #17 16 comments and so far and no mention on how our local Marxists used feminism as the vehicle to achieve their ultimate goal of destroying the nuclear family. They told us this and have been bragging ever since. This is why we lose. |

| #14 P2k, you forgot to add that you get more of what you subsidize. Yep. The community's jobs were outsourced to Asia and illegal aliens. Their manhoods outsourced to Washington D.C. and the welfare office. All part of the plan to divide and rule. |

| #13 In Texas, the divorce judges apparent;y has no choice but to grant mothers full custody. Laws need to be changed to give judges much more leeway in granting custody. |

| #11 Laws wont fix it. you cant legislate culture. When the communities stopped going to church, thanks to liberals, it started us down the road of no responsibilities. Like the church or not, it held people accountable as family units. An interesting study would be the relationship between single parent homes and church followers vs non church followers. Its all about community and culture. Throw out the ties that bind us, and we will not be bound... |

| #10 You can start by changing divorce laws to require fathers have shared,, half custody of his children. Don't automatically grant full custody to the mother. Require fathers to be involved in raising their children. I'm looking at you Texas! Yes there are people who are simoly unfit to be a parent,, but still need to pay child support. We're supposed to have courts to decide stuff like this fairly. |

| #3 Big Brother as a substitute for fathers has been an abject failure replacing several thousands years of social evolution. They'll keep doubling down before admitting the abyss they created for so many people. |

| #2 Yes.... Progressive Liberalism is doing a better job of destroying America from within than the CCP or our other enemies. With that said. Think, if all that $$$$$ was put into true leg up job skills training, funded Community Jobs and what it would have accomplished. Personally, If I was in congress, I write a Law requiring the fathers of any single parent child collecting Government $$$$ and housing. Be ID (DNA) and required to provide up to 25% of his Net income to reduce Government expenses for his Sperm Donation. |
