Why do women commit far less crime than men? About three out of every four people arrested in the U.S. are men. That rate is similar across the world. (bigthink.com)

Just gonna be an average Internet user and only read the headline, but commiting crime and being arrested are not the same thing. See also black people in America

Possibly Dawkins: "A woman can make a whole new person all by herself, with just a little help from a friend."

My money is on them just not getting caught as often.

Or better community support to prevent them from getting as desperate.

As a male I can confidently say its a combination of rage, pcp, and being highly motivated.

There are two questions here.

Why do men commit more crime? That's simple, we're wired for aggression and risk taking.

Why do men get arrested so much more? Less simple but still, women are privileged to be on the favorable side of a pernicious social bias and we are not.
