I found this quote cited in a book I'm reading called Raising A Modern-Day Knight by Robert Lewis.
It's a fact that most violent crime is committed by men. Prisons for men far outnumber women's correctional facilities. Additionally, far more men in society struggle for their identity than women. "Who am I?" "What is my purpose?" etc. Men are looking for a way to assert, "This is who I am. This is my purpose." The problem is that so many men are asserting these things in a negative, destructive way.
The turning point, I believe, starts with fathers training their sons. But more importantly, fathers have to grasp for themselves what a positive masculine vision is. I still don't have the whole vision, but I think this book might help.
Wise societies provide ample means for young men to affirm themselves without afflicting others.
- George Gilder, Men and Marriage
