Transgender differences in crime[edit]

What do other editors think about including a section on transgender differences in crime?

There's a well known paper by Cecilia Dhejne, Paul Lichtenstein, Marcus Boman, Anna L. V. Johansson, Niklas Långström and Mikael Landén (Long-Term Follow-Up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden; PLOS ONE. Published 22 February 2011) that claims:

male-to-female transitioners are likely to retain the same risk of male pattern criminality, both for general crime, and for violent crime.

female-to-male transitioners are likely to adopt male pattern offending. The scale of difference from the female group, is however smaller than that of the male-to-female transitioner group for all convictions, and for violent offending.

I know this finding has been subsequently disputed. Professor Ruth Pearce has stated:‘This study is widely but inaccurately cited by anti-trans groups on social media as evidence that trans women retain “male patterns” of criminality, an error repeated by Profs Freedman and Stock.

Are there are any other high quality published data that are relevant here?

I think no. This blurb doesn't belong in this page. GBFEE (talk) 19:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This C class article has some room for improvement. I noticed that some of the sources may be considered outdated, as statistical data changes over time, especially after more than ten years.Katdobs (talk) 03:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Poor citations, missing page numbers, etc.[edit]

Some of these citations are incomplete, the writing is therefore unverifiable 24.63.82.141 (talk) 13:04, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
