Most crime is committed by men too



Most crime that we have records for to use for studies is committed by men you mean. Who is to say how much crime by women goes unreported and uninvestigated, and therefore has no presence in our statistics.


Yeah but it's not as if there is this huge epidemic of underreported or uninvestigated crimes committed by women. This doesn't account for the statistical difference.


This same argument is used to dispute the racial disparities in the justice system.

Is the explanation right in this case but wrong in that. Right in both? Wrong in both?
