What does it mean to "be a Man?"
CrimeSucks: "'You go out to a high school and ask, 'What's a real man?'' he says. 'They're going to talk about strength and respect, they're going to talk about power -- all those things that have a connection to a degree of violence.'
Faulkner rhymes off a slew of statistics: In Ontario, 94 per cent of all domestic homicides have female victims and male perpetrators; in the U.S. (and Faulkner says Canadian numbers are comparable) 85 per cent of individuals who commit homicides are males; 90 per cent of individuals who commit assaults are males; 95 per cent of individuals who commit serious domestic violence are males; 95 per cent of individuals committing crimes connected to road rage are males.
'We, as a gender, are very violent,' says Faulkner. 'And are becoming more and more violent.' "
