That’s data, not evidence. To treat it as evidence you'd have to understand the causes (poverty, segregation, policing patterns, etc.).

And you’re mixing two things: using group averages to judge individuals vs managing risk under uncertainty. The first is prejudice, the second is safety behaviour.

Men on average are simply a higher physical risk to women than women are and so cost of being wrong is higher.
