Overall, men are seen as more criminal than women due to several reasons. This could include the fact that men's traditional domestic roles, as they were the providers of the family, and this may provide an excuse for crime such as theft. However, despite this reason, women may commit as much crime as men but the bourgeoisie decide not to represent this in the media.

I think that men are represented in the media as being more criminal than women. Due to men having a more dominant role, they are seen as being more dominant in society and therefore commit more crimes, such as domestic violence, burglary or rape. This is misleading because women still commit crimes, these cases just aren't noted as much in the media, so men are stereotyped as being more criminal, working class males in particular, people in society are fed to believe this is true (hyperdermic-syringe model), people will see women as being more innocent, caring characters.

I too believe that men are seen as being more criminal than women. This may be because that men are seen as the breadwinner, and if they can not provide for the family, they are likely to commit a crime such as theft and drug dealing.
