Content: This is consistent with worldwide statistics showing that men are responsible for the vast majority of violence globally. But what causes men to commit horrible acts, while women rarely do the same? And can anything be done to change this pattern of violence? THE AGGRESSION DIVIDE
It’s important to note that although there is a clear delineation by sex when it comes to violent crime, men are certainly not destined to be killing machines. Most men are not violent, and we also have plenty of examples of women committing atrocious crimes. Nevertheless, a clear sex difference has been documented cross-culturally in the way men and women display aggression. Men are far more likely to express their aggression directly: through physical violence or verbal abuse. Women are more likely to be indirectly aggressive: to focus on damaging someone’s social standing or spreading rumours to hurt someone’s reputation.
