Research exist reporting that children from single-parent families are more likely to become delinquent than children from two-oarent families. Single parents can less-effectively supervise their children (one can do less than two). And single parent families are easyly affected by their peers. Previous research suggests that the most important determinant of whether a child will be involved in delinquency is the quality of the parent-child relationship rather than a family structure alone. Second is stepparent family in which one is divorced or widowed adult living with all or some of his or her
