Women commit most violent crimes against other women
Washington AP reports that women commit about 2.1 million violent crimes annually in the United States, three quarters of which are simple assaults on other women. Men commit about 13 million violent crimes each year, with over half being simple assaults. Data from 1993-1997 via the National Crime Victimization Survey show persistent gender gaps in violence levels, relationships to victims, and contexts.
