We absolutely need to acknowledge that being male is a huge risk factor, second only to culture.

However, because of the immense effect of culture, a "hey men, what gives?" attitude may end up not being enlightening. What would be really interesting to know is if there are any large populations (countries, cultures, etc.) where male violence is comparable to female violence (or at least that the ratio is much smaller than the ~8:1 in the U.S.)--that would suggest that in fact there is a path to pretty robust male-specific interventions.

If we can't even find an example, then because the biggest factor is culture (including law) anyway, and we have clear examples of it working, it seems that the focus should be on culture and law overall.

We of course should be aware that it is the culture's effects on men that are going to drive the bulk of any improvement, but that doesn't mean it needs to be man-specific, necessarily. Especially since there is a very strong correlation between violent crime and poor impulse control, undercutting any attempt at a conscious intervention which presupposes that the targets have sufficient impulse control to make changes.
