A classic criminology textbook, "Principles of Criminology," notes that crime rates for men greatly exceed those for women "for all nations, for all communities within a nation, for all age groups, for all periods of history for which reliable statistics are available, and for all types of crime except those peculiar to females."
no, really?
To be fair, the larger point that there are more men doing more violent things and ending up in prison is true. but that sentence is still annoyingly question-begging. Yes, if you just look at the crimes men commit more of, you will find that men commit more of them.
