In these respects the following figures are better:

Italy, 1891–1895.[144]

Status. Annual Average Number (of Criminals) to
100,000 of the Population in Each Group over 14.
Unmarried 978.47
Married 622.27
Widowers and widows 291.84

But as the Hungarian figures have already shown it is necessary to make a division for sexes, for first, women have a much lower figure for criminality than men, and second, the whole population is not equally divided between men and women.

The defects so far noted have been avoided in the following tables:
