Hypothesis
"There should be an observed correlation between a relatively high prevalence of homosexuality and the presence of an institutionalized police force, but this correlation should disappear once degree of father contact is introduced as a control" (264).
Note
The association vanished under a condition of low father contact, but not high father contact.
