Summary/Abstract: This experimental study aims to determine the specific personality traits of female incarcerated aggressors in Romanian prisons, a category of inmates that has been insufficiently investigated regarding their personality profile. The research sample consisted of 200 incarcerated women, definitively convicted for off enses including homicide, drug trafficking and consumption, theft, and economic crimes. The investigation of the personality profile of female aggressor inmates was conducted using the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ), the Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire in Five Factors (FFNPQ), and the Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI). Analyzing and synthesizing the results of this research, we can conclude that female aggressor inmates exhibit a distinct personality profi le compared to female inmates who have committed non-violent off enses.
