Abstract
This paper examines how due to the shift in society over the years, a rising proportion of children are being raised in single parent homes. It analyzes the detrimental effects on a child bought up in a single parent home, whatever the circumstances may be and how juvenile delinquency, in particular, is a frequent consequence of this arrangement. Juvenile delinquency is not just a personal or familial problem, it is a social problem as well and research has shown that is even more of a problem for minorities. The minority child growing up without a father or mother increasingly sees crime and anti-social behavior in general, as the road to success. It uses the State of New Jersey as an example of cities that have been hard hit by economic depression, population decline, crime, out-of-wedlock births and single parenthood and evaluates the new minority culture of drugs and crime which is not only entrenched but is growing continually worse. Each new generation witnesses conditions worse than those seen by its predecessor.
From the Paper
"In effect, these children become indoctrinated into a culture that is distinct from that of the general population. Once the child of a single parent household is firmly on the path to a life of crime, he develops all the inherent defects associated with that lifestyle. It is a lifestyle that is counter to established authority and norms. The larger world of the majority middle class comes to seem alien and untrustworthy. (Rabrenovic) The child, first as a teenager, and then as an adult, moves into the sphere of the drug dealers, and the gangs ? into the upside down realm of the slums. It is a world in which sex and violence play a central role. Few in such an environment put any break on their own desires and impulses. "

Abstract
An in-depth study on how children from broken homes are affected emotionally, physiologically and from a behavioral point of view. The paper explores issues such as children with single-parent homes vs. two-parent homes, the benefits of friends and extended families, single parent attitudes towards children, effects on academic education and emotional behavior, socioeconomic effects, step-parents and single fathers.
From the Paper
"Today, single fathers seem to be more familiar with these roles in home management and childcare than mothers. Furthermore, the tie and connection between single fathers and children as well single mothers and children have now become new focal points for self-direction. Both single parents have set the criteria for organization of more traditional spheres of work and social life such that now single fathers develop close relationships with their children and have a greater appreciation of responsibility in being the primary parent.
However, the fact remains that no mater how good mother or a father can be as a single parent, the negative and adverse effects of children?s development proofed through various studies concludes that there's a price to be paid for removing one of the traditional pairs, and the old-fashioned concept and belief that to have a mother and a father is still a pretty good idea."

Children of Broken Homes, 2002.
This paper looks at two studies of delinquent children: "Crime & Human Nature" by James Q. Wilson and Richard J. Herrnstein and the work of Deborah Gorman-Smith et al.

Abstract
The paper discusses the theories of Wilson and Herrnstein who have found that broken homes by themselves do not necessarily cause children to engage in delinquent behavior. These opinions are compared to those of Gorman-Smith et al. who explore the effects of the different types of family problems on delinquent behavior. The writer finds that these studies have serious and important implications for social workers working with families in crisis.
From the Paper
"Reviewing the studies that examine the effect of broken homes on delinquent behavior, Wilson and Herrnstein actually found many studies that did not establish a relationship between family structure and delinquent behavior. Therefore, there is a mixed response towards the association between these two aspects. Wilson and Herrnstein make perceptive observations about the nature of these contradictory findings: the lack of a common definition of a "broken home"; the effects of the surrounding neighborhood; parental traits; and socioeconomic status (Wilson & Herrnstein, 19?, pp. 248-249). Thus, these factors should be considered in such studies in order to create an unbiased experiment."

Single Parent Homes and Juvenile Delinquency, 2002.
A discussion on how children raised in broken homes are far more susceptible to becoming criminals than those raised in two-parent households.

Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of single-parent households and its relationship to the growth and development of juvenile delinquency. It looks at how single-parenthood is an almost automatic first strike against any child, in particular, the inner city youth. The loss of sound guidance and advice forces minority children to find a sense of belonging outside of the family home. Deprived of adequate adult role models, they look instead at images they see on the street or in the media, images that glorify crime and violence. It also suggests a case study to analyze the relationship between single-parent households and childhood propensities for violent and other anti-social behavior.

From the Paper
"The minority child growing up without a father or mother increasingly sees crime, and anti-social behavior in general, as the road to success. His idols are criminals or people who espouse criminal ideals. In a 1997 documentary, Rhyme and Reason, Gangsta Rapper Ice-T was quoted as saying, ?My earliest heroes were drug dealers with gold chains. Once you've tasted the adrenaline rush of crime, you're intoxicated forever. Any way you can't get out of the gang once you've been there, so I have to carry a gun.? (Weems, 1997) While this particular film (according to the review) tries to be upbeat, and purports to show the positive aspects of Gangsta Rap, there is no denying the serious negative impact of words like Ice-T?s on the millions of minority youth who listen to Rap Music, and worship figures like himself."

From the Paper
"The divorce rate in the United States is rising at an alarming rate. Just after the Civil War, approximately 5% of marriages in the United States ended in divorce. The divorce rate increased to approximately 10% by the 1920s and approximately 35% by the mid 1960's. By 1990, the divorce rate in the United States had risen to 50%. In a span of 125 years, the divorce rate in the United States increased by 900%. These rising divorce rates have undoubtedly had a profound effect on children. In 1988, 15% of all children lived with a divorced or separated parent. Presently, more than one million children per year experience a parental divorce. In the 1960's, almost 90% of children lived in homes with two biological parents. By 1995, approximately 18.9 million children under the age of 18 lived with one."

From the Paper
"The nature and demographics of divorce have changed to such an extent over the past few decades that the existence of children in fatherless homes has become an epidemic of mass proportions affecting almost half of the children in the United States. The longitudinal effects of divorce have become a consideration among parents, researcher, educators and children alike in the attempt to address all the variables incurred as factors due to divorce rates. Children growing up in single parent homes was only at the rate of 10% in the decade of the 1960's compared to 60% today due to the increase in the divorce rate, the acceptance of unwed mothers and the growing acceptance of cohabitation."

Esther Fincher's heart failed, and nobody called a doctor. Each year, hundreds of North Carolina's elderly suffer needlessly in the nursing homes they turn to for care. They lie for hours in their own waste or battle dangerously infected bedsores or, bound to their beds and wheelchairs, slowly lose the strength and will to walk, eat, speak. They're victims of poorly staffed homes and under-trained workers--and of the public system responsible for protecting them. The state pays the bills for 75% of our nursing home..."

"Each and every day of the year more than six-thousand Americans die. Some of them pass away at home or at work, some die in hospitals or nursing homes, and others are killed in accidents or die by violence. Despite differences in how, when, or where they die, nearly every one of them ultimately leaves this world through a funeral home. Subsequently, it is important for funeral homes to administer effective staffing practices and selection tools which reflect trends in ethics and diversity. In response to trends in diversity and ethics, Alderwoods is reexamining their ethical standards, for too many of these ethical standards are being violated for the sake of profit maximization."
