Summary/Abstract: Former research and theoretical approach to female criminality has not been adequate, so that there is a need for the new one. After analyzing general characteristics of criminality of women and some more important theoretical approaches to these problems, the authors suggest in their conclusions two possible methodological approaches, namely: (i) female criminality should not be considered as a particular and isolated, i.e. differently determined phenomenon within the entirety of the problems of criminality; (ii) in the effects of general causes of criminality - endogenous and exogenous regarding the women, there exist, undoubtedly, specificities which have, as their consequence, the other specificities in the scope and structure of criminality.
