"A number of studies show that three-quarters (75 per cent) of boys want to be like their fathers and more than half of girls want to be like their fathers. So once a father has a job and is stable and spends a lot of time with his son, that boy is most likely to be stable," Gayle, an anthropologist of social violence, told the Sunday Observer.
"It is not the same thing for his mother. So the mother can have a stable job and thing, but the boy is still problematic because the mother is not a role model for her son. Very few boys choose, (for example), the careers of their mothers," he added.
"Professor (Barry) Chevannes' 2001 study "Learning to be a Man" discusses the influence of the street versus the home. He found that the influence of the mother cannot beat the influence of the street. For inner-city males, there is a war between the home and the street. A boy from the inner city who beats the influence of the street usually has a male influence somewhere. A male teacher, pastor and uncle are the three we usually find in studies. So when a mother comes out and says 'is me and God alone', it's a lie..." the researcher said further.
