Answer:
D. Male offenders often have the mitigating circumstance of being responsible for the day-to-day care of children.
Explanation:
Option A is a correct statement because defendants who remain in custody are those who are not granted bail because of the gravity of their offence, and hence they are more likely to be sentenced to prison.
Option B is also a correct statement because elderly offenders are less likely to repeat their offense or engage in another crime as compared to younger offenders, hence they are more likely to receive probation or shorter incarceration
Option C is a correct statement because male offenders have shown difficulties than female offenders in being reformed.
The only wrong statement is D, as male offenders do not often have the mitigating circumstance of being responsible for day-to-day care of children, except for very few cases, rather female offenders are the ones with such responsibility.
