Crime, Gender, PsychologyAbstract
Crime is an act that is breaking the law, and it is punishable by the government. Shoplifting, violent offenses, and murder, for example, are all considered crimes. For maintaining societies' order, laws are created to restrict everyone's behavior. When some people commit a crime, they need to be punished by law: for instance, with fines, community service, or imprisonment. In this research we are going to discuss the probability of committing crime in relation to gender.
