Statistically, this actually is not the case. According to the US Department of Justice, 75.6 percent of all offenders were male and only 20.1 percent were female. The remaining percentage were from cases that the victim was unable to ID their attacker.

In Bureau of Justice Statistics study that ran from 1993 to 1997, specific types of crime suspect were broken down by gender. The results were:

Sexual assault: 98% Male suspects vs 2% female suspects

Robbery: 93% Male suspects vs 7% female suspects

Aggravated Assault: 89% Male suspects vs 11% female suspects

Simple Assault: 82% Male suspects vs 18% female suspects

most crimes are committed by men and this is so because compared to women,men have less ways in earning..for e.g prostitution is a way how women earn money..and like this we have many other job facilities. another e.g is baby sitter..so compared to women men have less job facilities. therefore this is why men tend to commit crimes such as theft and all. another reason could be the difference in the up-bringing of boys and girls. the behaviour of boys and girls are not similar. men tend to be rude,aggressive and etc whereas women are calm,sweet and etc. there are many others reasons as such..try to find them ;)

Why is it more likely for a girl to get kidnapped than a boy?

I believe this has to do with the gender of the kidnappers.

Firstly, woman may be less likely to put up a fight, and the second reason may be for sexual purposes and because they usually weight a lot less
