Overview
The purpose of this book is to analyze questions that many Americans find themselves asking each day as the sad events of the day are reported in the news: What has gone wrong with the families of this country? Why is the problem of violent crime so bad, particularly among the young, among ethnic minorities, and in large cities? This book crystallizes these questions. The book develops and thoroughly explores the theory that antisocial behavior is an adaptive response to low parental investment.Editorials
