Max, there's a difference between taking responsibilities for one's behaviors and engaging in excessively risky behaviors, such as involving one's self in criminal activities to earn money such as the drug trade and drive-by shootings (which may account for the discrepancy in male and female violence).

Females are more at risk from relationship violence, as the number one killer of pregnant women is not diseases but partners. Probably the biggest risk to women is the shame that keeps them from leaving abusers and from not reporting assaults and rapes.
