In the G7 countries, most of the people arrested or suspected for homicides were men. For instance, in the United States, there were 13,000 male homicide suspects, compared to 1,700 female suspects. The high number of suspects in the United States compared to the other countries is mostly down to its larger population, but can also be explained by the high homicide rate in the U.S. compared to the other countries.
