Men fill up prisons. They drive oil tankers onto rocks in pristine wilderness areas. They skip out on their kids. They loot S&Ls in Brooks Brothers suits and convenience stores in T-shirts. Men commit the most crime in America, outnumbering women in prisons 94 to 6. Yet women are expected to pay their unfair share for this essentially male pursuit. June Stephenson has an idea: a tax on men. In Men Are Not Cost-Effective, June Stephenson outlines the ground-breaking idea of a gender tax, as well as examining just why crime is a masculine statement. She also provides sound government statistics on the staggering impact of male crime in America and pro- vides workable remedies for stopping this great crime wave.

The House of Windsor has had to adapt to increasing press and public scrutiny during this time, and accept that the days of unquestioning reverence have passed.
