Nowhere in your otherwise most excellent piece is there mention of what is happening to men, who have I guess the privilege of being 98% of workplace deaths, being 80% of the homeless, having four times the suicide rate, and being 75% of accidental opioid crisis deaths.

In relation to males, females were slightly more likely to receive a monetary fine (12% versus 10%) or another type of sentence (e.g., an absolute or conditional discharge, a suspended sentence or a community service order) (89%, versus 84% for males) (Chart 5).
