This illustration shows a triangle with three layers. The lowest layer is in the lightest tone and the text in this layer reads, gender-related; [greater than or equal to symbol] 20.0% gap. The middle layer is in a darker tone and the text in this layer reads, approaching gender-related; 10.1–19.9% gap. The upper layer is in the darkest tone and looks like a small triangle. The text in this layer reads, gender-neutral; [less than or equal to symbol] 10.0% gap.

The note below the illustration reads:

Note: For gender-related offenses, when the men/boys have the higher rate the offense is male-gender-related, and when the women/girls have the higher rate the offense is female-gender-related.

Each of the four graphs has two trend lines – one for males and another for females.

The first graph is labeled gender stability and shows the trend lines for both sexes run almost parallel to each other. The one for males is above that for females. Both trend lines start rising sharply and plateau before they spike and drop a little and then rise again sharply before they flatten out and run parallel to the horizontal axis.

The second graph is labeled gender divergence and while the trend lines start on the y axis and both start with a spike before the trend line for males climbs upward to another spike before it plateaus and then climbs again more gradually. The one for females falls after the initial spike and then rises gradually before it plateaus and falls. Both trend lines diverge as they move along the graph plot area from left to right. The trend line for males is above that for females.

The third graph is labeled gender convergence and both trend lines start on the y axis and tend to converge as they both rise from left to right. The trend line for females starts close to the bottom of the y axis and the one for males starts past the midpoint on the y axis. The one for males rises slower than that for females and the end close to each other on the right.

The fourth graph is labeled no trend. The trend line for males is above that for females on this graph. The trend line for males rises, plateaus and drops again and then has two spikes on the right. The one for females starts with two spikes before it runs parallel to the horizontal axis ad then falls before it rises again.
