As we have heard, but let me stress, there are different offending patterns between males and females, which the noble Baroness, Lady Cash, explained. Males commit the large majority of offences per se, and some offence categories are only very rarely committed by females, such as sexual offences or violent crime in particular. That means that, even if only a small number of natal males who identify as female are recorded as women, that skews the female sex offending statistics in a misleading way.
