Crime and the human male

I will attempt to directly correlate crime not only as predominently perpetrated by men but it's direct corelation with the acquisition of resources. I will directly correlate this with lower socioeconomic status and lack of adequate infrastructure both educational and economic leading to an ill or the virtually non existence of equal opportunity for competitive advantage among males for resources. I will also demonstrate the direct link and correlation to the occurrence of rape or forced rape in environments where male competitive advantage is in turmoil or non existent such as the case in poverty stricken areas and combat zones in war.

Although I have not read it yet the book below should provide a good read to understand human behavior in terms of rape from a biological and evolutionary perspective in humans and it's occurrence in the animal kingdom. I believe
it will be a truly good read to help us understand and prevent rape better.
