I am trying to prove why I think parents having a child reduces their rate of commiting a crime. My basic reasoning is that most parents love their new child and start to realize that they need to better their life in order for their childeren to have the best life they can. I need two sources and was trying to find out stats on the number of peopl e in jail who have children vs. not and say that most don't have children (hoping this will be the case) and I need one more source besides that but idk what to source. Any ideas on these things?

I don't know of any studies that have explored that - which does not mean someone hasn't looked into it. This is what a "search" came up with. I don't know if these will help you or not, but read and find out. You can try your own web browser (Google, whatever) and other search terms to see what else you can find.
