Firstly, I'm not trying to get into a gender war. It's pretty clear that for crimes coming to the attention of the police male crime rates far outweigh female crime rates.
Some points that stuck out to me and which I though might be interesting topics for discussion.
- "offending by people aged 15-19 years rose from 6,556 to 6,751 per 100,000 population in 200910" compared to "200910, persons aged over 25 years offended at a rate of 1,081 per 100,000 population".
- "The rate of male offending is at an all-time low at 2,769 per 100,000 male population in 200910"
- Compared with 199697 rates, juvenile offending for both males and females has increased. Male offending has increased by four percent from 6,288 per 100,000 juvenile male population in 199697 to 6,521 per 100,000 in 200910. Significantly, while they remain less likely to offend, the rate of offending for female juvenile offenders increased by 67 percent from 1,528 to 2,546 per 100,000 juvenile female population from 199697 to 200910
- "The rate of juveniles committing assaults has risen by 67 percent since 199697from a rate of 459 per 100,000 juvenile population to the current rate of 768 per 100,000 juvenile population in 200910"
There are other factors not included in that report that would be interesting to put into the mix, if someone knows a government source that has a better coverage please add it to the mix.
