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)

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.
