Re: Why not reduce prisoner numbers?
"remove the current gender bias from the justice system. 90% of male prison places would be freed within two years"
First you'd have to change the arrest rate. Currently about 80-85% of arrests are of men.
Perhaps this is down to lower educational results for men (ie the school system is more likely to fail them), meaning that they're more likely to get caught?
Or maybe, just maybe, more crimes are committed by men?
