Of the 6,624,317 total arrests recorded across reporting agencies in 2024, men accounted for 4,804,178, or 72.5% of the total, while women accounted for 1,820,139, or 27.5%. For men, the top offense categories closely mirrored the overall national arrest picture, led by uncategorized offenses (1,634,951 arrests), other assaults (618,322), and drug abuse violations (534,102). The report’s authors note that this pattern is consistent with longstanding research identifying retail theft as disproportionately represented in female arrest data compared to violent or weapons-related offenses. Across nearly every other tracked offense category, men are arrested at rates three, four, or even five times higher than women. “Understanding how differently men, women, adults, and juveniles actually experience the justice system matters for anyone serious about reform.”
