Too many men = more crime
A report from CBS's 60 Minutes (click on title for link) uses the case of China and its 25 years of single child policy to illustrate a know fact for sociologists...
If there are too many men in a society, many of them will stay bachelors. And men without a family (wife and kids, i.e. someone to care about) have a tendency to end up in crime or in the military (aka killing people).
So the Chineses are already forecasting a rising in criminality in their country and are also trying to curb abortion in order to have more girls being born.
