There's also the fact that crime in the US has dropped per capita just as the marriage rate has declined.
The "breakdown of traditional family" is a myth. Black communities are plagued with limited resources, poor education, excessive enforcement of archaic drug laws, excessive punishment for minor non-violent crimes, for-profit prisons which reward recidivism, etc.
Again, morality helps communities. Religion may or may not play a role in that. |
US Crime is likely down due to access to abortions (Levit) or the reduction in lead in the environment(forget which economist proports this theory.)
