Critically evaluate feminist explanations of female criminal behaviour. The involvement of females in crime and as the committers of crime was once a rare phenomenon but in recent years a dramatic increase has been seen all over the world. In England and Wales statistics have shown between 1994 and 2006 female crimes have steadily increased and have since continued to do so (MOJ 2009). Many sociological explanations and interpretations have arisen to coincide this surge in female offending as to understand its recent development in society. This assignment will look at different feminist explanations and critically evaluate them and their value in understanding female crime.

Throughout criminology studies, female criminality has been back staged by male criminality. This was due to a generalised view that crime was run by males, as females were presumed disinclined to commit crimes (Bronfman, 2007). With large amounts of documentations on male criminality and delinquency covering many aspects of criminality, information on women and crime have been lacking (Gibson, 1982). Most research and documentation on female criminality was linked to prostitution evading many other aspects of women criminality such as hysterics, infanticide and shoplifters, which were generally the stars of the tabloid press but not of criminological studies (Bronfman, 2007; Rodríguez, 2006). Throughout this essay I will present various facets of female criminality and delinquency, including prostitution, and the many issues faced by women in the criminal system, as well as the forensic techniques that were developed to identify these female criminals such as fingerprinting and photography.

Theories of female offenders Most of the theories of crime was developed to explain male crimes by male criminologists. For decades, women offending challenges traditional theoretical explanations of crime, which were developed to explain male offenders. There were a few debates that indicate the concern of whether the theories were being used equally to explain both female and male crime. Criminologists came to a conclusion that the traditional theories are male-specific theories. For that particular reason, they argue that those theories are not suitable to explain female crimes. However, both the social process and traditional structure theories explain a gender neutrality in crime. They also give a better understanding for both male and female crime.

Arson investigation began sometime in the mid 1970’s, and has been a process changed and evolved ever since. The act of arson consists of purposely setting or starting a fire on someone’s property, and can be for a number of reasons anywhere from vandalism, excitement or serial arson, to revenge, extremism or crime concealment (Newton, M., 15). Some previously “proven” indicators pointing as to whether or not a fire is an act of arson has been questioned, further researched and tested. Many of these theories have stated that certain markings, post-fire, could only appear due an accelerant being used to help engage the fire or intensify it, though recently many of these theories have been debunked. The truth behind some of these markings

Female criminality attributes the disparities to the “masked behaviour” of female incidental to their roles (Pollak, 1950). Females have committed all types of crimes such as shoplifting, robbery and murder. However it is very rare that you would find a female committing murder as they are weaker than men and thus it is mostly the minor crimes they commit so they can get away with it.
