Sexual predators: Female sex offenders

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to characterize the sexual behavior of women committingsex crimes and to determine the possible similarities and differences in the criminal activityof female perpetrators of such crimes. The study is theoretical in nature and is based on theliterature review method. The research findings made it possible to conclude that the criminalactivity of women in terms of sex offenses does not differ significantly from similar behavior bymen. Women engage in the most brutal sex crimes, including rape and sexual murder, both aloneand with other people of both sexes. Very often, they also initiate these acts, which contradicts the belief that they are passive participants. The victims include both family members and thoseoutside the family circle, although in the case of the perpetrator–victim relationship, women aremore likely to harm people they know and with whom they have had some relationship. Womenuse violence no less than men. Even if they themselves do not directly contribute to extreme injuriesor even the death of the victim, they do not discourage their accomplices from such behavior and,on the contrary, repeatedly encourage them to commit cruel acts.
