6. It's true at the local level too.

Violence is dropping, yet a lot of stereotypes depend on the perception that it isn't.

Did you know that from 2000 to 2010, the number of men arrested for violent crimes dropped by 11.8%, but the number of women arrested for violent crimes went up 0.7%

Also, the number of men arrested for property crimes dropped 7.2% while the number of women arrested increased 27.1% in the same time period?
