WHO'S CAUSING ALL THE CRIME IN AMERICA?

WHY DO SO MANY BOYS GROW UP TO BE CRIMINALS?

Whether it's murder, rape or the S&L scandal, crime costs about $300 billion a year, and men outnumber women in prison 94 to 6. Why is it that essentially only men commit crimes? The answer is not unemployment, inadequate housing, poor schools or single mothers; females grow up in the same conditions and are practically crime free. The male hormone, testosterone, may cause aggression but does not necessarily lead to violence. Then why IS crime a masculine statement? MEN ARE NOT COST-EFFECTIVE answers that question as it also provides remedies to stop this great crime wave.

This is a provocative and fact-filled look at the cost of the crime in this country using documented statistics from the FBI and the Justice Department. It provides insight into the problems of why so many boys grow up to be criminals and suggests remedies for the on-going problem. Not all men are criminals, but almost all criminals are male. Why is that? Stephenson asks.
