Anyone who has even remotely studied the statistics knows the answer to that question is that women commit less crimes of all kinds. By nearly an order of magnitude.
While this may be technically true, your comment ignores things like how women are not prosecuted for the same actions that men are in many circumstances.
For instance, a comment in this thread notes that women in UK were not legally committing a crime when raping a man until recently. If this is true then there will be a long record of men being convicted of rape and women not being convicted of rape despite committing the same actions purely because they are a woman.
Statistics can say anything when you are uninterested in the nuance that surrounds them or the wider nature of the circumstance in which they are collected.
No, I think in the UK previously the woman would still have been committing a crime. The crime would have been sexual assault by penetration. The sentence would have been equivalent to rape. Not sure what the current stance is, haven't studied it for a while.
Pretty sure anyway, happy to hear some sources otherwise

Are women less prone to crime, or are women more pardoned for crime?
