Female offenders

Istraživanja o počinjenju kaznenih djela daju zaključke kako žene čine manji broj kaznenih djela u odnosu na muškarce. To je povezano s činjenicom da se kaznena djela koja čine žene smatraju manje opasnima za društvo te da se uz žene veže tradicionalna rodna uloga supruge i majke. U ovom radu se kroz biološke, psihološke, sociološke i feminističke teorije objašnjavaju uzroci počinjenja kaznenih djela od strane žena. Navode se osobine prosječne ženske prijestupnice, najčešća kaznena djela koja žene čine te tretman prema počiniteljicama kroz kaznu zatvora i pojam resocijalizacije. Prikazani su i statistički podaci koji pokazuju udio žena u ukupnom broju osuđenih počinitelja za razdoblje od 2016. do 2019. godine kroz određena kaznena djela.Research on the commission of criminal offenses conclude that women commit fewer criminal offenses than men. This is due to the fact that crimes committed by women are considered less dangerous to society and that women are associated with the traditional gender role of wife and mother. This paper explains the causes of female crime through biological, psychological, sociological and feminist theories. The characteristics of the average female offender, the most common crimes committed by women and the treatment of perpetrators through imprisonment and resocialization, are also explained. Statistical data showing the share of women in the total number of convicted perpetrators for the period from 2016 to 2019 through certain criminal offenses are also presented
