Right. According to this huffpo post less than 10% of homicides are gang-related, which makes it impossible that gang violence could explain the 10:1 (male:female) homicide offending ratio.
I was thinking that most murders are gang-related and most gang members are male, but I see that this is disputed. Unfortunately, all the sources I can find seem to take a partisan position in the gun control debate, hence I don’t know.
Bad prior. Gang violence is a major murder statistic, but it’s pretty far from being “most”. Quick googling says: “1 in 6 murders”. The most common motive, at 50% is “Argument”. So.. men are more likely to escalate those to homocide?
No, the male murder excess rate is not gang-related. Why would you think so?

Makes sense.
