Why non-male? I'd think a highly educated white collar white female would be able to pull it off just as well if not better. (To be honest I have trouble imagining one would want to though...sexist of me I suppose.)
The English crime statistics have violent crime happening to men at almost twice the rate of women.
What I found interesting was a recent study that found rape has a much higher rate of PTSD occurrence than other crimes - maybe it's so uniquely traumatic (and the threat of it so terrifying) that it forces women to be more careful than men even when men are statistically much more likely to be assaulted by strangers.

Well, you don't get PTSD after murder, and I would say that rape is the next worst thing that can happen to you, so I don't think it's that surprising...
A quick Google search brings up Canadian statistics [0]. In total, it's about equal (F: 50.15% M: 49.85%). Removing "criminal harrassment" and "uttering threats" (which are not really violent crimes) makes little difference (F: 48.62% M: 51.38%).
For rape ("sexual assault"), women "win" by far (F: 91.89% M: 8.11%), but it's much less frequent than "aggravated assault" and "robbery". Also, I'm assuming that "sexual assault" doesn't include prison rape (which makes sense, since that's not something you should fear in public), but it probably includes rape by friend/acquaintance (which isn't something that you should fear in public, and wouldn't rise if living in a RV compared to a house). Allegedly, rape by stranger (in public) is a rather rare form of rape (although it still makes sense to fear it and not put yourself in situations where it's likely to happen).
Men are the majority of victims of serious crime (after removing "simple assault") (F: 40.22% M: 59.78%).
I wonder how much these numbers are a result of a kind selection bias, i.e. women don't put themselves in situations because of natural disposition/perceived higher risk (this is certainly the case in my experience).
