Current Events > The Gender Gap....

(+) Yeah! (+)

in Crime.... is real.

One of the most reported statistics, literally since statistics began, in all countries that keep statistics - is that men commit more criminal offenses than women, and thus more men are prosecuted for committing these offenses than women.

Well - I am happy to report, that gap is closing at quite a significant rate: https://academic.oup.com/bjc/article/56/6/1272/2415129

I believe that women can commit crimes just as adequately as any man ~ !

The next big issue is that women should also be able to be prosecuted as easily as any man - Men are sadly 2.79 times more likely to be incarcerated for property offenses, and 2.02 times more likely to be incarcerated for drug offenses, thankfully for violent criminal offenses there is no statistical different between incarceration rates of women and men (https://scholarworks.utep.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi? article=1001&context=gang_lee&sei-redir=1)

This needs to stop - justice should be blind.
