“…Home guardianship may be affected not only by the employment status of a resident, but also by the resident’s other activities outside the home, such as going to school, playing sports, and eating out, because the resident leaves his or her home without a guardian for those activities (Capowich, 2003; Miethe and Meier, 1994; Roundtree and Land, 1996). Based on the same logic, a household with a married or cohabitating couple may be better protected than one with a single adult, though only because one of the married or cohabitating couples is likely to stay at home if they are not employed outside the home (Miethe and Meier, 1994; Phillips and Walker, 1997).…”
