Statistically, growing up without a father in the home is a better predictor of young males becoming violent-crime offenders than either race or income (and race is a big predictor because black males are so heavily overrepresented in violent crime offences even though the Justice Department deceptively counts mestizo criminals as white). Despite being nontraditional, children of polyamorous relationships still do well because their situation is stable.  Hoodrat live-in-boyfriend situations aren't.
