Answer 1

Men are more likely than women to engage in provocation and be both perpetrator and victims of violent crime.

Explanation:

Provocation refers to behaviour or situations that may trigger anger, aggression or conflict. According to the textbook answer, men are more likely to engage in provocation and may therefore be involved more often as both perpetrators and victims of violent crime. Social and situational factors can influence such behaviour.
