Does gender effect crime?

Answer 1

It affects some crimes, such as rape, but there is a theory that female crimes are underreported. There are female pedophiles, rapists, and killers. They are just not reported on or caught as easily, due to sexism in the police force. Simply put, people do not think that the mothers and daughters of our society can be just as depraved as fathers and sons.

Answer 3

yes but not as much as it used to. Certain crimes are not commited by one of the sexes or not as often such as poisening is usually a womans method.

Used to be if you were cut off in traffic it was always a guy but now seems more often a woman, also they lie mopre than they did. Also deseases that used to be predominantly for males woman now share. Over all it appears this woman power thing has hurt the gender.

Answer 4

I don't know about gender per se, but it seems testosterone promotes aggression, and THAT affects crime. It does seem that most of the people who commit crimes (especially violent ones) are male.

Answer 5

Affect - and yes it does. Men are more violent and aggressive than women because of testosterone. To be aggressive, women have to overcome this biological difference.

Look at two prisons: one male and one female.

The male prison will almost always be filled with violent offenders with long rap sheets. The female prison will be filled with women that predominantly killed husbands/boyfriends in order to protect themselves and their children. This is speaking in generalities of course, but is mostly the case.

Answer 6

75% of assault cases are men attacking women.

When taking advantage of persons on a physical level you tend to go after what looks the weakest as lions seek out the slow weak buffalo on the plains.
