'Why are men more likely to be convicted when they commit the same crimes as women
and why are they given harsher sentences than women after convictions for the same crime?'
Focusing specifically on why there are more males in jail than females. I decided to explore this topic because I came across an article in the Guardian and the article was titled, "Are Men Natural Born Criminals? Prison Numbers Don't Lie." The author of the article a Jessica Abrahams stated our jails are overflowing with men while women account for less than 5%.and why are they given harsher sentences than women after convictions for the same crime?'
