A Patriarchal family is a family in which the father is considered head of household; this is true regardless of which parent is the primary breadwinner (in a household with a working mom and stay-at-home dad, if the dad is the head of household, it is technically still a Patriarchal family). All in all, a patriarchy is a social system in which family systems or entire societies are organized around the idea of father-rule, where males are the primary authority figures.
According to Marcus Felson, places where criminals are able to find one another, and which usually leads to sustained criminal behavior are known as offender convergence settings.
