Table 33 - Ten-Year Arrest Trends, Separated by Gender

This is a published table, courtesy of www.fbi.gov that lists arrest statistics between 2002-2011 separated by gender. I encourage you to check it out and see the different crimes that men and women are charged with. The first thing you should notice is that the while 5,910,637 men were charged with a crime in 2011, only 2,083,579 women were charged. Why is this? Are men predisposed to commit crimes? Are men really just more violent and women more passive? Are women more manipulative and simply better at not getting caught? I want to start a discussion and dig through the "ideas" about why men and women are different and see if we can formulate hypotheses about why men and women commit crimes and why those reasons may differ.
