Lol, poverty is why there are no fathers in those homes. No fathers in homes is a symptom of poverty. Poverty is the root cause. Scarcity of resources. If (this isn’t a call for communism, btw, though I think the way China builds homes for the poor does help a lot) we lived in like a Star Trek world, where there was no scarcity of resources, every need and want is met by society (we could very easily do this ourselves, if it weren’t for greed) for everyone, I imagine crime rates and gang activities would plummet. But you’re right, poverty isn’t the only reason for crime. That’s why wage theft (I can guarantee you’ve been a victim of this) is the most prolific crime being committed. More than any other crime, full stop. It’s companies and billionaires that commit the most crimes. But that again, is due to lack of resources, but on thier part it is the manufacturering of that scarcity.
