Why Men Are More Predisposed to Violence Than Women

Everybody has the capacity but mercifully most people don't actually realize that. 90 percent of homicides are committed by males and 80 percent of the victims are males so essentially we're talking about male on male violence. We have some really good quality evidence emerging over the last 10 years in particular that disparities of income are a potent risk factor for increasing homicide rates and suicide rates interestingly among men. The interesting question is why it should be that some men seem to be more prone to violence than others.
