Its an objective fact among every country that publishes crime statistics. These countries all vary widely in every other metric you can imagine (social, economic, political etcetera). But, crime being disproportionately commited by men is a universal constant. Nobody has an objectively correct answer to this question, it's just a prompt for discussion. Share your opinion, whatever it may be. However, please don't be a dick to other commenters. Disagreement, good faith, many view points and discussion is the goal here.

No. I did not in any way say that. If you swapped "men" and "women" in the title I would have said the exact same thing.

If you have a conclusion that men hold more criminal convictions then that could be true because it's very quantifiable.

    My contribution is meaningful. Men "commit" more crimes because they're convicted of more crimes. There are MANY studies across centuries that look into that.

    Why do you think they are convicted more?

    More like women are convicted less. I'm not really qualified to answer. :|
