Worldwide, men are victimized at much higher rates, especially when the perpetrator is a stranger. But men also commit the vast majority of violent crimes. Most of these crimes end up being men hurting other men. Of particular interest is homicide statistics...

>A 2013 global study on homicide by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime found that males accounted for about 96 percent of all homicide perpetrators worldwide.

The wiki speculates that this could be due to biological differences, such as men being much more willing to engage in risky behavior.
