Except the whole single mother thing. I've seen and friends with strong women of color that are great mothers. Their children behave very well. Having grandparent in the mix helps immensely.
I've also seen a few single white mothers go around with victim mentality and their children suffer.

I've seen how protective black mothers are in general to their children and I feel this just isn't the reason male black children would wanna immediately go to the dark side.

Peer pressure Yes, Single parent not so much.

You may have seen or known a few strong single mothers, but across the board single motherhood is the largest indicator of problems in those communities. It's a complicated one filled with many factors, but it's consistent.

The bottom line is that there is a large body of literature showing that children of single mothers are more likely to commit crimes than children who grow up with their married parents. This is true not just in the United States, but wherever the issue has been researched. Few experts, including Cohen, dispute this.
