I took a legal class recently taught by a former prosecuting attorney in our state. He conducted the study personally over several years and testified to Congress about the results. The study came up during a discussion in class one day but he did not give us copies. He was basically advocating for more intervention and mentorship for juvenile offenders from single parent homes. I'll shoot him an email and see if I can get a copy to post.The point was also not to bash single parents doing the best they can. Obviously, there are a lot of kids from single parent households that turn out just fine. This is not to say and it can't be done and be done well. I would simply say that it is less than ideal and presents unique challenges to the one parent trying to do everything alone. The study did nothing, as far as I know to measure the correlation between first time offenders and single parent homes. It was focused strictly on repeat offenders and whether they were from single parent homes.</blockquote>
