kids of single parents

That is probably a product having no father figure

Damn homie, almost as if that's a massive part of this equation.

You also skipped the entire rest of my comment, where I talked about the problem of mom constantly being bred by thuggish men, wherein either their direct influence or genetic one pushes them to act similarly, and how being raised by a failure single parent creates an environment where being "three felonies deep and gang-affiliated" is normalized is how a neighborhood becomes a hood.

But gotta rush in quick to get your contrarianism in, so I get it. Though since you live far from America, your "well I never met one!" experience is pretty much useless on an almost exclusively American regional problem anyway.
