What a brilliant example of cherry picking complex statistic results for dramatic headlines. The reality? - arrests are down hugely overall, and for women is up a small amount which you'd expect since the 80s with women gaining greater agency.
Really shit click bait.
So the real headline? - arrest rates have dropped dramatically over the past 30 years, with women now also being arrested, whereas they weren't previously, creating a false impression that their crime rate is increasing. But what kind of headline is that when you need clicks?
And if you read further, the real reason the arrest rate for women 'soared' in the 80s? Women only started getting arrested then, when previously they weren't, for domestic violence.
