I would say the sex ratio of criminals is, itself, an expression of a male-centric society. Males are expected to be successful in order to attract mates and feel a social pressure to fight for their places in society, this is the so called "toxic and competitive masculinity" some chastise men for. In less educated and more violence prone individuals, that pressure is a very strong motivator for crime.

In this social model, females have less to gain from high risk behavior, since they are not selected based on material affluence, and a lot more to lose; a woman projecting a high level of self autonomy is labeled as promiscuous and a poor choice for what a female "should" optimize for: motherhood, a stable family, supporting her husband and so on. This goes on from early childhood, teaching girls to conform to social norms or be rejected, even (or especially) by other girls.

Meanwhile, "boys will be boys" and are expected to bend the rules.
