Well, whether or not fatherlessness is the actual cause (and I believe there is abundant evidence that it is), it seems very likely that partially rewinding the societal changes that have led to widespread fatherlessness are going to have a positive effect on crime.
And yes, I'm talking about the sexual revolution.

"Whether or not we correctly understand the root causes of X, it seems likely that doing Y will clearly reduce it". I can't change your beliefs, but you have to understand how foolish this sounds to me. If you think the sexual revolution causes crime then just say that. I personally think it's ludicrous, but at least do me the decency of stating your conflicting opinion instead of trying to sidestep the point that this op-ed is fluff.

I see your extended response now. Well, I'm happy to do some ironclad moralization.
