Black Relationships : We Should Probably Stop Blaming the Crime Rate on Single Mothers

[chuck]

95% of all prison inmates come from those homes.

The CDC, FBI and U of M crime studies all track it and say so.

The majority of those homes don't get married

They have repeated oow births because they think that's the norm

Majority of drug abuse come from those homes

I can go on and on.

Who else is the spawn of the problem then?

Please do disagree without being disrespectful too!!

The OP answers your questions.

1) .....over the last 20 years, the murder rate in the District has dropped 75%, while the percentage of single mothers has remained steady

2) University of Maryland professor Philip Cohen notes that media outlets have attributed the recent drop in DC's murder rate to a rise in average income and improved law enforcement

3) Cohen points out that while children of single parents are statistically more likely to commit crimes (Say it with me, folks,correlation is not causation. That is, the fact that children of single parents (usually mothers) are more likely to commit crimes isn't simply because their mother has a naked ring finger and a giant, invisible scarlet A pinned on her child's birth certificate; other, more important factors are in play. Poverty, crappy education, wide availability of guns, the drug trade all contribute to crime in a much larger way than simply not having a dad does.

That crime is still done by people who come from those homes.
