• Resumen

  • More men inevitably means more testosterone-fueled violence. This is wrong, according to an analysis exploring how ratios of men to women affect crime rates across the US. In areas where men outnumber women, there were lower rates of murders and assaults as well as fewer sex-related crimes, including rapes, sex offences and prostitution. Conversely, higher rates of these crimes occurred in areas where there were more women than men.
