Criminality & Gender: A Compact Analytical Guide

1. Key concepts

• Gendered pathways to crime: Socialization, poverty, trauma, substance abuse, and coercion shape how people—especially women—enter offending.
• Victimization vs. offending overlap: Many women who offend have histories of intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual abuse, or exploitation.
• Chivalry & paternalism in justice: Courts may be more lenient (chivalry) or more punitive when women don’t conform to gender norms.
• Intersectionality: Race, class, disability, immigration status, and sexuality interact with gender to shape criminal justice outcomes.
• Structural drivers: Economic marginalization, caregiving burdens, and limited access to services influence both offending and recidivism.

• The case of the "Pegasus" spyware: in 2017, it was discovered that a number of journalists and human rights activists had been targeted by a sophisticated femware attack, which was designed to gather sensitive information and track their activities.
• The "Android ransomware" attacks: in 2016, a number of Android users were targeted by a ransomware attack, which locked their devices and demanded payment in exchange for restoring access.
