Abstract There is a general perception that women are victims and men are the perpetrators of sexual offense. Female perpetrators of sexual crimes have been neglected in the research literature, because female sex offenders do not live up to preconceptions of female as motherly and caring. Females tend to be responsible for a very small portion of all crimes and are estimated to account for 1-2% of all sexual offenses. Theories use to discuss female sex offending include neutralization of behavior, mental health and feminist theory. The aim of the present study was to describe female sex offenders and examine the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim by analyzing court judgments. Convictions ( N=22) from the Swedish district courts, where female convicted of sexual crimes in accordance with legislation on sexual crimes during the years 2008-2013 were examined. Significantly more females (82%) denied the offenses they were charged off. The majority of the perpetrators had a relationship with the victims and carried out their crimes with a male accomplice. Of the 27 sexual crimes perpetrated, 63% of the victims were under 18 years old and were primarily female. Most women in this study were given a sanction of a non-custodial nature. Female sex offenders are a relatively unexplored group of sexual offense perpetrators. They do exist and sexual offending causes a great deal of harm to victims and society, so it is worth studying. Keywords: Female perpetrator, female criminals, sexual crimes, convictions, female.

This study, through a questionnaire and in-depth interviews, aims to to make a sociological analysis of female criminals in the Denizli Open Prison, including their demographic characteristics, family structures, committed crimes and the factors that led to their criminal acts. The questionnaire, composed of 57 questions, has been evaluated in the SPSS program, and in-depth interviews were done with 6 female criminals for a detailed analysis of why the female criminals committed crimes and the factors that led to their behavior. In the study, the concept of crime is accepted as a social fact. The educational backgrounds, ages, families and subcultures of the women have been examined and the dynamics of female criminality in Turkey have been cross-examined within the limits of sampling. In the course of the study, it was found that concepts of honor, domestic violence and patriarchal structure have been key concepts of female criminality, and female criminality in Turkey can be understood in terms of these phenomena

En kvinna som mördar har ett högt nyhetsvärde och ett allmänintresse. Det baseras inte på att ett mord har begåtts, utan för att det är en kvinna som begått brottet. Johanna Möller är en av Sveriges mest omtalade kvinnliga brottsling. Det visar sig inte minst i den mediala uppmärksamhet som har tilldelats henne då det har skapats tv-dokumentärer och podcasts om henne och det brott hon har begått. Studien syftar till att få en bredare förståelse samt undersöka hur Arbogakvinnan, Johanna Möller framställs i podcasten Med vänlig hälsning, Johanna Möller. Hur gestaltas en kvinna som har begått ett mord och vilka stereotyper är framträdande? Hur påverkar berättarstrategier framställningen av den kvinnliga brottslingen? I studien har en kvalitativ tematisk innehållsanalys använts, där Rättegångspoddens fem avsnitt om Johanna Möller har transkriberats och sedan analyserats. Resultatet av studien visar att Johanna Möller framställs på ett stereotypt sätt i podcastavsnitten, där man förlitar sig mycket på den tidigare bilden som förmedlats av henne. Berättarstrategierna påverkar berättelsen på ett sätt som endast verkar i negativmening för Johanna. / A woman who murders has high news value and public interest. This is not because a murder has been committed, but because it is a woman who committed the crime. Johanna Möller is one of the most talked about female criminals in Sweden. It shows in the media attention that has been given to her. Many TV documentaries and podcasts have been produced about her and her entire crime story. The purpose of this study is to gain a broader understanding and to investigate how Johanna Möller is presented in the podcast. How is a woman who has committed a murder portrayed and which stereotypes are salient? How do narrative strategies affect the portrayal of the female criminal? This research is based on a qualitative thematic content analysis in which five episodes of Rättegångspodden about Johanna Möller have been transcribed and examined. The result of the study shows that Johanna Möller is portrayed in a stereotypical way, where the journalists relies heavily on the previous image established about her. The narrative strategies affect the story in a way that only works in a negative way for Johanna.
