Why do teenage boys commit more violent crimes than girls?

Answer 1

Crimes are often carried by boys. One theory is because the violent Video Games can sometimes cause agressition, or a false sence of whats right and wrong due to being influenced by what their virtual player is doing. Also girls often resolve their problems but boys try to keep it in and that leads to an accumilation of stress and anger. Also it can depend on the family, if there is no positive influential male role model then young men often seek a new one, often found in a respected male who is or was an influential figure in their life.

With no real up-bringing, people, especialy males are never taught how to behave according to the socially accepted rules of society.

Answer 2

Women are typically more social than men. More verbal. That isn't to say that men are anti-social and that's that, but ADD and disconformity are found to be more common in boys than girls. I guess it'd have to do with 'sociability'.

Answer 3

Male and female both have the same ability to commit crimes. Choosing to commit a crime has nothing to do with your gender. Although we do tend to see a greater trend in violence and crime coming from men. It is debated that men with an XYY chromosome pattern are more prone to commit violence then men with an XY chromosome pattern

Hope this helped(:

Answer 4

Teenage boys commit more violent crimes than they should because of the crowds they hang out with. They often need to prove who is "alpha male" which results in a lot of violence sometimes.
