Is the criminal justice system systematically biased against males?

I would respond but you took sentence by sentence and failed to understand any of it.
You got it bassackwards. Cut down on your error-filled posts and I will cut down on my error-free replies.


You assume that men are convicted of more crimes because they commit more crimes.
The evidence is weighty enough to establish this as fact rather than assumption, and there is not a single law enforcement agent or agency who would disagree.


In some categories, such as rape, it's quite true. In others, it's not at all true. Child abuse is not the province of mostly male criminals but females more often than not get a pass. I worked on cases where the man was being abusive and the mother was complicit. The man does time the woman waits for him to get out and takes him right back.
So- you “have worked on cases”.

Do you know what a-n-e-c-d-o-t-a-l means?

On the other hand, full or nearly full compilation of all crime for entire years is the opposite of anecdotal, and here it is for 2012-2013:

FBI: Current Year Over Previous Year Arrest Trends by Sex, 2012–2013

Unless both witnesses and investigators are just lying about it, then men commit four times more crime than women, including eight times more homicide and nine times more rape.


Oh, and I never said, women get probation for a murder conviction did I?
That inference is unmistakeable, so yes you did:

You: A man kills his wife and he will often commit suicide because he knows he'll be spending at least most of the rest of his life in prison. The woman knows she'll get a lot of sympathy and probably probation.

Womens’ probation is juxtaposed with mens’ life for murder, so you obviously meant probation for murder.


I said they got probation for killing, murdering, their husbands.
Christ. Jesus H. Christ. You cannot BE on probation unless you have been CONVICTED of something.


But, the bias starts incredibly early. The woman who shot her husband in the head while sleeping wasn't even going to be prosecuted. No trial. Nothing. I spoke with the DA. …
Unsourced anecdotal hearsay is not any more admissible in private debate than it is in public legal proceeding.


But the fact is, men and women charged with the same crime, similar evidence, get totally different treatment from what is called the criminal justice system.

We have established that men are several times more likely to commit violent crime than women. It is reasonable to infer from that that violent crime by men is more likely to involve aggravating factors while violent crime by women is more likely to involve mitigating factors (especially physical abuse at the hands of a man).


More than that, they get totally different treatment from society in general. "Oh, a mother wouldn't do that." Nonsense. I've known mothers who tortured their children and that wouldn't be the liberal definition of rudeness being torture.
Bull****.
