Özet:

Women are seen in a more background compared to men in many parts of the world, regardless of the level of development of societies. This position attributed to women is also reflected in the phenomenon of crime that exists in every society. Patriarchal structure in societies negatively affects the treatment of female criminality separately from male criminality. For this reason, the causes and consequences of female criminality cannot be discussed specific to the situations in which women are present. The patriarchal system causes many problems, such as the lack of discussions and research on female criminality, the in ability to make assessments specific to women at the stage of trial, sanctions, and the in ability to organize services for the needs of female criminals. The emergence of the feminist movement and the development of feminist criminology in the field of law have played an important role in addressing female criminality through gender, women's experiences of abuse and violence. The aim of this study is to present the visibility of female criminality in the forensic field with a critical perspective under the headings of feminism, gender, feminist criminology concepts, characteristics of female criminality, approaches explaining female criminality, visibility of female criminality.
