yessica perez 5th January 2013	what is the estimate of inmates (females/males) in Arizona?
Amy+Becker 24th August 2010	Bryan What is wrong with Kathy's perspective ? I find her comments to be right on target in every area and since almost 90% of all violent crime is by males, she is right, look for someone with testicles to find out who did it. I too am glad I do not have them and if I woke up suddenly to find I did, I would cut those things off.
Kathy 20th August 2010	@ male "males are innocent its only because of female that we male put over self into crime." Regardless of the reason, if you want to find the perpetrator of a crime, especially a violent crime, start by looking for someone with testicles as testicles do seem to make one prone to violence. I am glad I do not have them.
Bryan 3rd August 2010	My previous comment must have been too "high brow". It would have been nice to see a perspective other than Kathy's.
male 29th July 2010	Kathy @ wrong males are innocent its only because of female that we male put over self into crime.
The One 27th May 2010	Studies have found between 2-40% of sex crimes are the result of false allegations. Also, women are more likely to garner sympathy than males; it is human nature and many cultures see women as the "weaker" sex even when females are aggressive. Take Debra Lafave for example. If she was a male, she would have gotten hard time, but since she was "too pretty for jail," got a light sentence despite making comments that would label a male a sexual predator. Looks matter too. There are sites, for example, where people can vote on "hottest female sex offender." Many of them received lighter sentences than male counterparts. www.oncefallen.com
Anonymous 19th May 2010	@Kathy 16 April 2010 Actually what this shows is that women are not imprisoned as often for their criminal activities. We cannot say that women are not engaged in crime less often, especially since equal protection of the laws has been effectively eliminated in the United States and there is near universal bias against men in most justice systems in the world. Women are treated less harshly by the courts world wide than are men as sentencing guidelines and outcomes show. If we took your other statements at face value, the question is: why is it that women are raising "inferior" men? Who is ultimately responsible? The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. What is the cause and what led to men being driven from their homes and for many children to be raised without a father? Also, seeing that nearly all religious and moral philosophers are predominately male and have been throughout history, I find your statements about moral superiority somewhat suspect and lacking in logic, reason, and accountability -- the very flower of gender feminism. The truth is out there for those who are fair minded and can think critically. We can infer nothing about the character of men from the statistics on the imprisonment of women.
Kathy 15th April 2010	Since the highest percentage of women in prison is only 20.3%, it shows that crime is almost always a MALE activity. (90 nations have less than 5% and only 6 have more than 10%) I do wonder how many of the women in prison are there because they were protecting themselves from male aggression or having males set them up. If this numbers were separated and we could see the number of women in prison for violent crimes, I am sure it would be almost ALL male. It is hard to imagine why most everyone cannot see that women are morally superior to males and in reality, when we look at the overall picture with health, education and other things, that women are by far superior to males in almost every area!
