males account for
I am not sure whether the males are the victims or the perpetrators of 80% of the crimes.
Thank you for your help!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

yes, it is ambiguous and it's possible that the percentage of perpetrators is similarly male but in the graphic it's clearly talking about victims

Well, if you can do it easily, yes. But the graphic does spell out that the figure relates to deaths, i.e victims so I think it's safe to go with that.

: It is not ambiguous because by definition it refers to crime victims.

Armorel Young
: Absolutely - it's ambiguous and on the face of it could easily apply to perpetrators (if you replaced "homicides" with "thefts", for example, wouldn't you be talking about perpetrators?)

: just on its own, it couldn't be more ambiguous // obviously, as with any other text, the more context you have available, the less ambiguities subsist.
