Maybe this is true, as a statistic, but it is disingenuous to conclude "mothers should stay married NO MATTER THE SITUATION to save society from criminals".
These single mothers become single for MANY REASONS.
Arsehole fathers being arseholes cause some.
Cunty women being cunts also cause some.
Spouse death.
Just two people grow the fuck apart.
So, we maybe need to understand the why part of marriage breakdown. Can we agree on that?
What about lesbian parents, technically not single moms, any stats on gay couples making criminals?
I'd love some research on that.

Welfare and entitlements that incentivize single motherhood certainly don't help. Black families were far more likely to remain intact *before* the civil rights movement. Which is absolutely NOT an endorsement of jim crow laws, but rather a massive indictment of these programs. They had good intentions, but unfortunately they have drastically incentivized all the social conditions that lead to crime. And no this doesn't just apply to black families. There are far more fatherless white children today than there were in the first half of the 20th century as a result of those same incentives. And then there's modern social attitudes and religiosity but that's a separate issue that's much harder to quantify.
I don't know the stats on same-sex couples and child rearing, but I think it's reasonable to conclude that two fathers or two mothers will lack the inherent value of the opposite sex being present in raising the children. Whatever fathers are good at will be lacking in a lesbian couple's parenting, and whatever mothers are good at will be lacking in a gay couple's parenting.
Which isn't to say same sex couples can't raise good kids, I'm sure they can and do. But not every critique of it has to come from some hateful biggotted place.
