Broken Home Sociology

An undamaged home is one of the most important and influential place for a child. A child’s family provides a support system all throughout their childhood and acts like a barricade against all things that can possibly negatively influence them. The broken home issue is a crucial key element in the theories that surround the cause of delinquency since the very beginning of criminology. Whilst there has been many reasons such like the lack of parental controls, destitute marriages, unsuccessful parenting and the failure of providing a safe, loving environment, have been associated to the progress in delinquency, most of the time it returns to the eventual disintegration of the family as the central causation aspect.
