I think you have to be careful not to conflate correlation and causation here. Criminals are also more likely to come from homes with high poverty, lower educational attainment, etc. It's entirely likely that those factors contribute to family breakdown so "broken homes" and criminality have the same causes, rather than one causing the other.

A home shouldn’t need two incomes to not struggle.
