A similar drug scene is apparent in most American public high schools. Part of the control problem in American schools is the stringent efforts of civil rights advocates (tied to the welfare state) who seek to protect the rights of children for privacy. These rights, however, run counter to the need to search children for drugs and weapons, which is essential if drug and violence problems are to be kept out of the public schools. Until these problems are controlled, little education and child socialisation will be achieved.
Among the poor, punishment tends to be 'cheap' on the part of the parent, yelling, screaming, slapping, and hitting, with little or no follow-up, rather than invested with extended parent energy, time, and concern. CRIME AND THE FAMILY The single-parent family, these researchers found, is among the most powerful predictors of crime rates. Also children of reconstituted families with step-parents had more crime than children from biological, unbroken families. Involuntarily broken homes, such as by death of a parent had consistently less delinquency than where the home is broken by a parental decision to divorce or separate.
This process defines the child's loyalty and membership in a family, an extended circle of friends and relatives, a neighbourhood, a community, a region, a nation and, ultimately in the human race. Just as the tie of trusting others and being trusted by others is in a continually dynamic balance, so are the forces of loyalty to and membership in circles of human relationship. Without this reciprocal tie to others and dependence by others on oneself, the consequence is anomie. It is not enough for the person to claim loyalty and love for an undefined and amorphous humanity, as is the case with many disturbed revolutionary or anarchic individuals.
