divorce rates versus crime rates  

Definición

  • The subject of the broken home and its relationship to juvenile delinquency, adult crime, poor school performance, and various other negative social outcomes has aroused much interest from sociologists, criminologists, feminists, and conservative advocates for traditional family structures and values. Early criminological studies conducted by the Chicago School focused on divorce and other negative social indicators as contributors to crime and social disorganization.
