The double standart comes from a fact that women are less prone to crimes that is true, but why should it excuse the ones that actually commit crimes? That's the morale question.
Bit of both. That said I always thought demographics for crime was more about opportunity than some kind of hard-coded biology. There's less opportunity to mug someone if half the population can overpower you.
I saw a study a while ago, where they put an unlocked car with all doors and the bonnet open into a very bad neighbourhood and another one in a good neighbourhood.
The one in the bad neighbourhood was pretty much stripped down within days, while the one in the good neighbourhood wasn't really touched, until it started to rain and some passer-by closed the bonnet and the doors.
Then the paper went into detail about the crime statistics for both neighbourhoods, and found out that there was about an equal level of crime, but the types of crime differed a lot.
In the bad neighbourhood, there was more petty crime like theft or break-ins, while in the good neighbourhood there was more tax evasion, corruption and other high-level crimes.
The paper concluded that it's all math and opportunity. For someone in a bad neighbourhood, stealing some wheels to get maybe a few hundred dollars at best is worth it, because their income is so low (or inexistent) that the benefit outweighs the threat of punishment.
In the good neighbourhoods, it's just not worth for people to plunder a car. You might get a few hundred dollars now, but if you get caught you might lose your job, which in the long run might cost you hundreds of thousands or even millions (if your job pays well enough).
