In addition to the sources BEB has provided, see the ones in my post on this thread. And the other ones you can find in my post history on saidit.

Pro-trans researchers and campaign organizations routinely trumpet and highlight the sky-high incarceration rates of TIMs as evidence of rampant transphobia. My sense is, discriminatory attitudes towards gay men, male transvestites and prostitutes of both sexes probably does come into play in a number of cases that cause TIMs to end up behind bars. But at the same time, some of us suspect that the sky-high rates of incarceration amongst TIMs are also reflective of higher rates of criminality amongst them.

Interestingly, what evidence there is so far shows that compared to the rest of the female population, TIFs have higher rates of criminality and incarceration as well.

Narcissism means that they empathise with people less and that others are just substitutes to them and not real persons.

Because of this - I see nothing strange in increased crime rate.
