The killing of a 22-year-old nursing student has once again put the spotlight on dangers faced by female athletes who practice sports alone.

I actually don’t think this is as true as is often assumed. Men are far more likely to be murder victims than women are.
Sexual violence is another matter however.
I wonder if that’s still true if gang violence is not counted.
I’m not sure. This is a complicated topic and I would assume that a higher proportion of male victims “provoked” their killer in some way. But I don’t know that there’s real data on that. I also think we need to acknowledge that this fact does not justify their deaths.
