I think your meant criminals are more likely to be men.
- HideousKojima 5y agoNo, I meant exactly what I said, more men are violent criminals per capita than women. What you said is also true, but it's not what I meant.

- NhanH 5y agoMoreover, unless we are talking about a very unusual subset of the population, the ratio of men:women is always almost 1:1, which renders the two statement functionally equivalent
- lobocinza 5y agoThey're equivalent, in this case.
- gruez 5y agoThey're both talking about the same phenomena and are technically correct, but the framing is different. Specifically, the latter wording tries to defuse blame on males.
- devmunchies 5y agoOh you meant in relation to women. I misinterpreted that you were saying if you pick 10 men, then over 5 of them are violent criminals.
