The sons of single mothers are at greater risk for violence, apparently because they have spent less time with their fathers. A child born out of wedlock is two-and-a-half times as likely to serve time in prison.

Child support makes no difference one way or another in the likelihood that a boy will grow up to be a criminal. It appears that the economic status of a single mother is not the key factor. It is the absence of “Dad.”

The third conclusion is even more surprising. The very small number of teenage boys in the study who lived with their single fathers were no more likely to commit crimes than were boys from intact families. Why? Perhaps it is because men who don’t marry but care for their children single-handedly are unusually devoted fathers.[189]
