2010 data but maybe this is what you're looking for: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/graphs/genderinc.html

This might also help you, or at least be a good read: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://publications.ut-capitole.fr/22892/1/Philippe_22892.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjXppnLhvXmAhUQVhoKHYYKCdQQFjAMegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw21nqLdLQCP7p2SnvlwfpwW

Here are a few sources. I've never seen the 3.5x figure before, but it might be buried in one of these studies.

The last one is a really good study on incarceration rates. It shows that men are twice as likely to receive jail time, and that even when women get jail time for the same crime, men are given sentences that are 63% longer. This is six times longer then the same difference for race.

It also shows men being more likely to be charged and then convicted, but only by a few percentage points each.

This study shows that men are more likely to be arrested though, and at a fairly high rate at that. I've always been curious what would happen if you took all these biases and combined them.

The incarceration rate, in the Estonia (EN), is 3rd highest in EU, but is not 3.5x.

Does anyone have the figures for the UK?
