I believe there's societal causes to the disparity. Part I feel is that when men are in danger and need the safety net, they're less likely to receive aid. There's not as vast of a support network for men as there are women. Add in a perception of men being considered expendable throughout history with women and children given priority. Men are more likely to be forgotten by a system that does not value them and their only means of survival may be crime. That's crime based on poverty and such means.
Crime that is white collar I think comes down to thrill seeking and reward. The propensity for men to be in extreme sports, to be stuntmen, and I believe there were instances there were more male skydivers. It's the thrill of it and getting away with it. Which leads into also psyche and are men more proportionate to have anti-social behaviors.
Column A and Column B. There are people out there where life is doing alright but could be better of all political persuasions. The issue is that the powers in charge are working to making it actively worse for everyone. As people have said form looking through here, organize.
