My sister has a theory, which I find thought-provoking.  She says, (and I 
have seen elsewhere) that better than 95% of violent crimes are committed 
by males; females are more likely to be victims.  The situation is such 
that many women feel that they cannot expect to go out alone (safely) 
after a certain time of day.  (If you don't believe this is true, take an 
informal poll of the women you know - ask them whether they carry something 
sharp like a fork, pen, or keys in a clenched fist when they have to walk 
through a parking lot after dark.)  This is, in effect, a curfew.  My sister
contends that a curfew for men should be instituted as this would drastically 
reduce violent crime. 
let men out when willingly accompanied by a woman.

                                    Respectfully,
                                    Joanne Munson
