1. Men do commit a lot more crime than women. We don&#x27;t know exactly why that is, but probably some combination of biology and society.<p>2. There is a lot of bias towards seeing men as more dangerous. Some is legitimate - men are physically larger, on average - while some is just pure bias. The bias might be partially justified due to men actually committing more crime, but it&#x27;s hard to say how much. Regardless, if you encounter the police in a potentially violent situation, it&#x27;s clearly much better to be a woman than a man.
