As most men in jail come from single mothers, I think we can assume that the presence of a mother in family life can not be assumed to be an asset or a means to social cohesion. Single father surrogate families seem to have few incarcerations though. Funny that eh?

You gave a statement you disagreed with but have given no evidence except for your assertion. Do you have actual statistics to back up your statement? I'm not saying I disagree with you, just that I would like to see the statistics.

It appears that growing up in a stable 2 parent household is important.

WTF relation does that have to marxism at all? How is that in any way related to the idea that flooding the market with to many workers debases wages below optimal equilibrium?
