Table 2.1.16 provides a summary of studies of geographic variations in crime rates relative to the sex ratios in those geographic regions.

It may be worth noting that most of the international studies on homicide rates have reported a negative correlation with the sex ratio, while most of the studies on homicide rates derived from comparing within countries point toward a positive correlation.
