The assumed relationship between delinquency and family life is critical today, because the American family is changing.

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.

Fathers are now spending more time with their children on workdays than they did 20 years ago, and mothers are spending somewhat less time.
