This is an essay so include a couple of paragraphs

Answer 1

Women are consistently less likely to be violent crime victims and offenders. However, while the difference between men’s and women’s rates of offending is very large, the difference between men’s and women’s rates of victimization is much smaller. In other words, women are at a greater risk for victimization than we would expect given their lower levels of criminal offending. Moreover, there has been a decrease in the “gender gap” or difference in victimization risk for women and men over recent decades.

In my opinion,The Victim Precipitation Theory best explains the difference.

In this theory,the criminal act that ultimately leads to injury or deathDuring passive precipitation, the victim unconsciously exhibits behaviors or characteristics that instigate or encourage the attack.

According to the Psychology,Women are found to be more emotional then Men they cannot easily attack on someone without any reason.
