In the U.S., it's around 7%.
Female Prison Population Hits Record But men are still 15 times more likely to be incarcerated. Recent stats show that women are increasingly committing more crimes. Maybe it has something to do with women's lib. over the past 40 years. I don't want to speculate.
But the bottom line is, if you do the crime, you do the time. Women should not be excluded from this--not even pretty teenagers.
