Gender dimensions of policy against crime
Abstract
This article intends to describe gender
dimensions of policy against crime. It
also aims to demonstrate possible policy
differences due to gender. More specifi cally,
with concepts such as female criminality,
women’s victimization and gender
dimension of penal law. The low numbers of
female criminality, the high risk of women’s
victimization, the different law provisions
due to gender are factors that indicate the
planning of policy against crime. Up to
now, policy against crime both in terms of
preventive and executive measures) did not
take into consideration the gender factor
with the exception of policy for violence
against women. All these themes are shortly
discussed in this article.
