Answer to Question 1

 The assumed relationship between delinquency and family life is critical today, because the American family is changing.
 Extended families, once common, are now for the most part anachronisms. In their place is the nuclear family, described as a dangerous hothouse of emotions, because of the close contact between parents and children; in these families, problems are unrelieved by contact with other kin living nearby.
 And now the nuclear family is showing signs of breakdown. About half of all marriages may one day end in divorce.
 Much of the responsibility for childrearing is delegated to television and daycare providers. While some families are able to continue functioning as healthy units, producing well-adjusted children, others have crumbled under the stress, severely damaging their children.
 The so-called traditional familywith a male breadwinner and a female who cares for the homeis a thing of the past. No longer can this family structure be considered the norm.
 Changing sex roles have created a family where women play a much greater role in the economic process; this has created a more egalitarian family structure.
 About three-quarters of all mothers of school-age children are employed, up from 50 percent in 1970 and 40 percent in 1960 . The changing economic structure may be reflected in shifting sex roles. Fathers are now spending more time with their children on workdays than they did 20 years ago, and mothers are spending somewhat less time.
 Student views will vary.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
