Thesis from 2003 in the field of sociology - family, women, men, sexuality, gender, grade: 1.7, Free University of Berlin, course: Socialization - Aggression and Violence - Gender, language: German.

Abstract: Both men and women often vehemently argue the thesis that men are by nature the more aggressive and violent gender, as this disposition is supposedly embedded in their genes. Crime statistics largely support this view, as the majority of violent crimes are committed by men. However, is it really possible to conclude from these facts that men are inherently more aggressive, or could it be that the expression of aggression simply differs between men and women?.
