If you meant '...to be insane...' - they could be tried for a lesser crime. For example, if someone was proven to have been temporarily insane at the time they murdered someone, a judge could direct the jury to find them '...guilty of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility...' instead of the more serious crime of murder


Why are crime statistics not as accurate as sociologists would like?

Crime statistics only include recorded crimes. A lot of crimes go unreported and therefore unrecorded, for various reasons, mainly leading back to the fact that the victim doesn't always report the crime. There is actually much, much more crime happening than we think, because we look at the official crime statistics and it only shows a certain amount, and the crimes commited by certain people. Sociologists explain reasons for this. For example; The official crime statistics show that males are most likely to commit crime against other males. A sociologist would say that this is because men want to live up to the 'macho image', they don't want to admit defeat. If a woman commited a crime against the man, he may be very unlikely to report it. So; a lot of crime commited by women against men goes unrecorded and doesn't appear in the official statistics.

Why men commits crimes?

No, i do not think that women commit more crime than men. The statistics show that to an extent women have increased in committed crime, however this is not as higher as men committing crime. Knowing this, some crimes are not recorded so are unknown, these crimes are not taking in account, and so the statistics shown in the net is not correct.

Is it true that south Africa is the 5th dangerous crime country in the world?

Yes, no, maybe Seems everyone has their own list. South Africa is usually in the top 10. The reason for these varying statistics may be that everyone has a different definition of a serious crime. Homocide rates are certaintly in this group, as well as violent assaults. Also, crime statistics may not fairly reflect the danger to the traveler who stays in better sections of cities. I also believe that there is unreporting of statistics. I just have a hard time believing that Iceland is more dangerous than the Sudan based on crime statistics. From personal experience, the country of South Africa has many cities where you will feel safe during the day and night. Johannesburg downtown and Hillbrow at night should not be visited alone. I speak from personal experience, rather than statistics. Also, conditions do change and crime statistics will lag behind these changes. See related links.


What is the Average Race of a Rapist in North America?

Your question is too broad. There is no single depository for crime statistics for all of North America. In fact, there is no universal agreement as to the countries and territories that make up North America. Crime statistics for the United States alone are several years behind by the time they are published. Also, statistics are more likely to tell the race of the victim. You may need to extrapolate if you want to know what race rapes the most.If you are interested in such a particular statistic you could perform your own online search to find exactly what you seek.
