Hello, class. How's everybody today? Is everybody ready for a short, and I really do mean short,

class, a more academic type of lecture? And this is family friendly. This episode was actually requested by Dan a couple months ago. He asked if I could

give a short lesson on men and women in crime and the differences between men and women and the

types of crimes they do. He wanted to know, in particular, why men commit more

psychology of male and female criminals differ? And hopefully I can answer all three of those questions.

There are no trigger warnings. Like I said, this is a more academic episode. And before we start,

I have exciting news. We have a new teacher's pet. So everybody welcome Connie. And Connie, you can join Chelsea in the special

pretty much the same across the board. Eighty-five percent of men account for the number of arrests

in the UK. Convictions, criminal convictions, 73% of them are male.

The people imprisoned in the UK are 95% male.

And like I said, it's pretty much the same worldwide.

Now, the question is, are men more likely to commit crimes, or are they more likely to be arrested, convicted, and imprisoned?

The answer is actually both. And we're going to look at why that is. By the way, I think I mentioned

this a couple episodes ago for some reason. Men are more likely to be the victims of violence in general, but women are more

likely to be the victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, and familial violence, meaning
