Q: The number of women doing this has gone up 25% in the last decade?

A: robbing banks

Back in 2005, 6% of bank robbers were women . . . and last year, it was up to 7.5%.

The FBI believes it’s because the word got out that banks will just give a robber money whether or not they show a weapon . . . so women who are in a desperate place see it as a less violent and dangerous way to get their hands on money.
