What quantitatively separates "excessive prosecution" from "prosecution"?


Anything that is statistically visible?

I’m not making a value judgement; I was just pointing out other explanations of the statistics.


So, like the excessive prosecution of men, who receive sentences about twice as long as women for committing the exact same crimes, on average? Men are prosecuted at far higher rates than women, too.
