In My Father's House: A New View of How Crime Runs in the Family Reviews
Fox Butterfield has written an expose of sorts. With all the books written in the past decade about rampant crime and police brutality, specifically regarding the black community, Butterfield takes a different tack and suggests a large part of the prison population, regardless of color...
"Our reliance on mass incarceration, Fox Butterfield argues, misses the intractable reality: As few as 5 percent of families account for half of all crime, and only 10 percent account for two-thirds." Butterfield introduces the reader to the Bogle family, and chronicles the four gener...
Holy crap. All I can say is I am glad I am not in THAT family. Reading this book is akin to watching a slow motion train wreck. The completely misaligned family honor code is hard to comprehend, but this was a fascinating look at family ties influence crime, and how our criminal justic...
A fascinating look at how crime runs in families by looking at one family and the generations of incarceration, poverty, poor education and poor role modeling and how every family member ends up incarcerated. This was an incredible read! ...
In My Father's House confronts nature and nurture, racism, family history as it chronicles a family with multiple generations and multiple family members who are incarcerated for crimes ranging from theft to murder. It was disconcerting to read of the pride when fathers would realize t...
This well-written nonfiction book begins with a very interesting statistic: that "5 percent of American families account for half of all crime, 10 percent of families account for two thirds." This point is driven throughout the entire book with Mr. Butterfield's multi-generational docu...
Fascinating topic, though some of the "according to studies" portions slowed it down. It's the often-wrenching Bogle family stories that kept me reading. And maybe a shred of hope that someone would have a good outcome. Even the few who didn't end up on the criminal path led bitterswee...
This book is built around a rather startling statistic: "5 percent of families in America account for half of all crime and 10 percent of families account for two thirds." This book then goes on to illustrate how crime can run in families by focusing on one particular rather impoverish...
New York Times reporter spent years investigating this family and interviewing them. Generations of criminals, impulsive, charming, terrifying, drunks, drug addicts, truants. The US prison system gave up tracking families of criminals when the Eugenics Movement was discredited along wi...
This book is interesting in the same way down-and-out reality TV shows and gnarly car wrecks are interesting ... It is sad and depressing and, in a certain way, disgusting that some are willfully breeding criminals ... The conclusion - that if you are raised by and around criminals tha...

Using that data of 10% of families account for 2/3 of all crime as a jumping off point, Butterfield follows the (white) Bogle family from their origins in Texas to their move to Oregon. Overall, 60 members of this family have been incarcerated. Drawing on the ideas of learned behavior,...
This is a fascinating look at how crime "travels" through families, providing a close look at one family throughout several generations, over 60 members of which ended up in jail/prison at one time or another. It is clear that Butterfield was passionate about his topic and meticulously...
My Father?s House by Fox Butterfield follows the criminal history of the Bogle Family who have had 60 of their family members incarcerated. Is there a ?Crime? gene? Are they criminals because of a mental illness thread running throughout their family? Or is it solely their enviro...

This was a shocking and sad chronology of a family with more than 60 members (over 4 generations) who've been sent to jail, sent to prison, and/or put on probation or parole. While the book touches somewhat on the nature vs. nurture debate and poses a lot of thought-provoking questions...

This was a shocking and sad chronology of a family with more than 60 members (over 4 generations) who've been sent to jail, sent to prison, and/or put on probation or parole. While the book touches somewhat on the nature vs. nurture debate and poses a lot of thought-provoking questions...

This book left me with an internal conflict - I can't decide if I'm hopeful or discouraged by what I've learned about the Bogle family. Probably a little bit of both. Book received via First To Read. ...
A detailed book on the Bogle family and its descendants in the study of criminology. This is an informative account of one family, generation by generation, crimes committed and time served in prison. Thank you to First to Read, Penguin Books for the chance to read this book. ...

Fox Butterfield has written an expose of sorts. With all the books written in the past decade about rampant crime and police brutality, specifically regarding the black community, Butterfield takes a different tack and suggests a large part of the prison population, regardless of color...
"Our reliance on mass incarceration, Fox Butterfield argues, misses the intractable reality: As few as 5 percent of families account for half of all crime, and only 10 percent account for two-thirds." Butterfield introduces the reader to the Bogle family, and chronicles the four gener...
Holy crap. All I can say is I am glad I am not in THAT family. Reading this book is akin to watching a slow motion train wreck. The completely misaligned family honor code is hard to comprehend, but this was a fascinating look at family ties influence crime, and how our criminal justic...
A fascinating look at how crime runs in families by looking at one family and the generations of incarceration, poverty, poor education and poor role modeling and how every family member ends up incarcerated. This was an incredible read! ...
In My Father's House confronts nature and nurture, racism, family history as it chronicles a family with multiple generations and multiple family members who are incarcerated for crimes ranging from theft to murder. It was disconcerting to read of the pride when fathers would realize t...

Fascinating topic, though some of the "according to studies" portions slowed it down. It's the often-wrenching Bogle family stories that kept me reading. And maybe a shred of hope that someone would have a good outcome. Even the few who didn't end up on the criminal path led bitterswee...

Using that data of 10% of families account for 2/3 of all crime as a jumping off point, Butterfield follows the (white) Bogle family from their origins in Texas to their move to Oregon. Overall, 60 members of this family have been incarcerated. Drawing on the ideas of learned behavior,...

Thank you to Penguin Random House and First to Read for the Advance Galley un exchange for an honest and unbiased review. My Father's House by Fox Butterfield is the non-fiction story of the Bogle family. The family has had 60 members incarcerated. Butterfield uses interviews with ...
This book left me with an internal conflict - I can't decide if I'm hopeful or discouraged by what I've learned about the Bogle family. Probably a little bit of both. Book received via First To Read. ...
A detailed book on the Bogle family and its descendants in the study of criminology. This is an informative account of one family, generation by generation, crimes committed and time served in prison. Thank you to First to Read, Penguin Books for the chance to read this book. ...

Fox Butterfield has written an expose of sorts. With all the books written in the past decade about rampant crime and police brutality, specifically regarding the black community, Butterfield takes a different tack and suggests a large part of the prison population, regardless of color...
"Our reliance on mass incarceration, Fox Butterfield argues, misses the intractable reality: As few as 5 percent of families account for half of all crime, and only 10 percent account for two-thirds." Butterfield introduces the reader to the Bogle family, and chronicles the four gener...
Holy crap. All I can say is I am glad I am not in THAT family. Reading this book is akin to watching a slow motion train wreck. The completely misaligned family honor code is hard to comprehend, but this was a fascinating look at family ties influence crime, and how our criminal justic...
A fascinating look at how crime runs in families by looking at one family and the generations of incarceration, poverty, poor education and poor role modeling and how every family member ends up incarcerated. This was an incredible read! ...
In My Father's House confronts nature and nurture, racism, family history as it chronicles a family with multiple generations and multiple family members who are incarcerated for crimes ranging from theft to murder. It was disconcerting to read of the pride when fathers would realize t...
This well-written nonfiction book begins with a very interesting statistic: that "5 percent of American families account for half of all crime, 10 percent of families account for two thirds." This point is driven throughout the entire book with Mr. Butterfield's multi-generational docu...
Fascinating topic, though some of the "according to studies" portions slowed it down. It's the often-wrenching Bogle family stories that kept me reading. And maybe a shred of hope that someone would have a good outcome. Even the few who didn't end up on the criminal path led bitterswee...
This book is built around a rather startling statistic: "5 percent of families in America account for half of all crime and 10 percent of families account for two thirds." This book then goes on to illustrate how crime can run in families by focusing on one particular rather impoverish...
New York Times reporter spent years investigating this family and interviewing them. Generations of criminals, impulsive, charming, terrifying, drunks, drug addicts, truants. The US prison system gave up tracking families of criminals when the Eugenics Movement was discredited along wi...
This book is interesting in the same way down-and-out reality TV shows and gnarly car wrecks are interesting ... It is sad and depressing and, in a certain way, disgusting that some are willfully breeding criminals ... The conclusion - that if you are raised by and around criminals tha...

Using that data of 10% of families account for 2/3 of all crime as a jumping off point, Butterfield follows the (white) Bogle family from their origins in Texas to their move to Oregon. Overall, 60 members of this family have been incarcerated. Drawing on the ideas of learned behavior,...

Holy crap. All I can say is I am glad I am not in THAT family. Reading this book is akin to watching a slow motion train wreck. The completely misaligned family honor code is hard to comprehend, but this was a fascinating look at family ties influence crime, and how our criminal justic...
