However, because women are most likely to be at home (child care, most lone parents are women etc) when they call, it is the case that women are more likely to be caught and prosecuted.

Prosecution is a last resort. We want to help you avoid this. That’s why you may be offered another option, like a payment plan. If we can do this, we’ll write to you.
This is called an out of court disposal. You may be able to avoid prosecution if you pay in full or sign up to a payment plan and make sufficient payments towards your licence. If this is available, we’ll write to you and tell you how much you need to pay.
However, if you’re offered an out of court disposal and you don’t buy a TV Licence or keep up with your payments, you could be prosecuted.

In how many cases is there a man also present? Only the person responsible for getting a TV Licence is prosecuted. If it's the woman's household, then they are responsible for that.
