Early Sunday morning, I got an emergency call on my portable radio from a police officer asking for assistance at the Skate Key, a South Bronx roller rink that becomes a hip-hop music club at night, with crowds of up to 1,000 people, many of them teenagers. When I arrived at the scene, there was a great deal of confusion: people screaming, blood-soaked sidewalks, teenagers crying in pain. Four people had been stabbed, and five police officers had been injured trying to stop the violence.
Though evidence suggests that the stabbings may be linked to gangs, the real cause is likely to be far more complicated. Those investigating the incident would do well to keep in mind that the most important principle of detection is, as Sherlock Holmes might have put it, "to look for what should be there." As I watched the young teenagers leaving the club early Sunday morning, it was easy to figure out the missing element: parents.
Sadly, I saw only half a dozen or so parents waiting for the hundreds of teenagers at the club. What I did see were plenty of security guards, police officers and metal detectors. How many parents even knew their children were at the club or whom they were "hanging" with? Where I did see parents was at Lincoln Hospital, when it was too late to protect their children.
Studies strongly suggest that destructive, criminal behavior in teenagers is at least in part attributable to a lack of parental supervision. I have seen how this plays out in real life. A few years ago when I was working in Brooklyn, unsupervised teenage boys at a public pool engaged in "whirlpooling," surrounding and touching girls. In other cases, I have seen children left alone at home, where almost anything caw—and often does—happen. What is worse, I have even seen parents commit crimes in front of their own children, by selling drugs, for example.
If an employer may be held liable in civil court for the criminal acts of an employee by failing to provide adequate supervision, shouldn’t a progressive society require that a parent be held at least partly liable for such offenses committed by their children?
Of course, parents can’t know everything their children are doing or be with them at all times. But when they know their children are going to a place with a history of criminal activity, there ought to be some consequence for letting them go there unsupervised. To me, knowingly permitting a teenage child to attend a club with a history of violence is careless parenting within the spirit of the laws. At the very least, such parents should be required to attend a counseling program on proper parenting skills, like that given to repeat offenders of traffic safety laws. [br] The real cause of the incident may be ______ than what evidence suggests.

答案
far more complicated
解析
由题干关键词cause,incident,evidence,定位到原文第二段第一句:Though evidence suggests that the stabbings may be linked to gangs, the real cause is likely to be far more complicated. 可知,尽管证据表明刺伤事件可能与流氓团伙有关,但是真正的原因可能更加复杂,故答案填far more complicated。
