adolescence and peaks at the age of about 20.

Also

evident is the fact that

men

are far more likely to offend than

women

. From a negligible 2 per

cent

among 10-year-old boys, the male conviction rate soars to approximately 16 per

cent

among 20-year-olds. The percentage of female offenders, meanwhile, climbs from 0 per

cent

among girls of 10 to some 5 per

cent

for 20-year-olds. The subsequent decades,

however

, see dramatic decreases in criminality among both sexes. A mere 2 per

cent

of crimes are committed by 60-year-old

men

and 0 per

cent

by

women

of the same age. As for the proportion of male and female prison inmates,

men

outnumber

women

24 to 1. Some 96 per
