How is deviance related to gender, race, and age? Most people arrested for crimes are male, especially those who are arrested for blue-collar crimes. Women are less likely to be arrested, to be convicted, and to serve time. At the same time, the United States arrests and convicts more women proportionally than the rest of the world. Most arrests, however, are among working-class and poor men. The difference in arrest rates between Whites and minorities is huge. African Americans and Hispanics are far more likely to be arrested for crime and also more likely to be the victims of crime. Individuals who are arrested are also more likely to be young than old.
