By having an actual upstanding role model in the household. Which basically is just having a parent that gets up everyday, goes to work, actually cares about their children and their future(not just when it is convenient), and doesn't really care to be bothered about other BS that is truly not that important.
I grew up in the inner city of Houston (Southwest Gulfton) and every single gang member, trouble maker, and drug user in school had parents that did not see any urgency whatsoever to tell them to stop or better yet force them by beating some sense into them. My mom kept me and brothers in check by showing us from a young age that she is in charge and actually disciplining us and following through with whatever she said she was going to do.
There is a lot of parents that condone their child's behavior because they act the same way. Some kids parent where still in gangs in their 30's and selling on the side, all the while not working and receiving assistance.
And it is not limited to one race. I say this as a hispanic that grew up in a predominately (90%) hispanic area. When that is all they see it is no surprise why they turn out that way.
