Concept information
Preferred term
gender and crime
Definition
- Gender is associated with crime in the eye of the public primarily to the extent that it is viewed as a male-dominated activity. It is well documented throughout history and cross-culturally, whether from victim surveys or police reports, that men commit the majority of crimes and that women experience crime much more in the victim role.
