« Magellan : I'd like to know what to do if some chick comes at me? :) Stab 'em in the boob?
Here's your stats, though. It took awhile to load for me, but it's pretty informative.
Here's their summary:
With more than 2.1 million violent offenses committed annually by women, one must not confuse a lower rate of violent activity with no violent criminal activity. However, women do commit violent acts at a substantially lower rate than their male counterparts, once for every 7.15 times that a man commits a violent act.
Female offenders differ from male offenders in a number of ways. Women are less likely than men to use a weapon such as a blunt object, knife, or firearm in the commission of a crime: 15% of women do while 28% of men do. Women are more likely than men to have had a prior relationship with their victims, 62% versus 36%...
...In conclusion, women are less violent than men. When they do act violently, they lash out against those they know and either love or once loved.
