It seems to me arguable that one difference is women make better criminals. Take a look at this BBC report of a parliamentary debate:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59421259.
Reading between the lines, girls had few goodie-type role models on't telly until recently: Nick Fletcher MP said "female replacements" in shows like Doctor Who were robbing boys of good role models. The only characters [boys now have] to look up to [are] gangsters - the Krays and Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders, he said. "Is there any wonder we are seeing so many young men committing crime?," he told MPs taking part in a debate on International Men's Day.
And yet... 96% of people in prison are men and boys!! So what happened to all the female criminals, who turned to crime in the absence, until recently, of a positive role model? Have they been released - or did they avoid getting caught in the first place?
