which kind of crime, violent crimes yes. even suicides men use more physical methods, rather than things like poisons. also if its baked into many cultures, than yes. another complex issue is: at least in the US, men are expected to move out of the house right after HS, and not expected to come back, even if they have very little job prospects, or directions, or finances which may lead to do crimes,sell drugs,,,etc. while women are expected to stay home way past, like in thier 20s or 30s in some cases and expected to marry into a family and they usually have support system to go to college, and colleges themselves have support system for women in general, expenses paid until you finish or get married so the risk of crimes are low, when you have needs met. this isnt all cases. both men and women can stay home past HS what they should be doing independently. its complex issue, but physical violence(guns, beatings, car running over, knives, weapons) are usually men.
