Answer 1

It’s true that stature plays a role. However, it’s inexcusable not to include the well documented differences in temperament (>90% of prisoners are male) and career choice between men and women. This, I believe, best explains the modern environment. There are other factors, too, such as child-rearing which can inhibit career prospects.
