Samenvatting:

This edited volume is the first volume that researches female criminality in the Balkan region and provides insights about patriarchal relations, gender roles, and female criminal behavior. The chapters provide research and data about crimes committed by females in Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia.

The chapters investigate topics such as:

• Long violence
• Social abuse and discrimination
• Women facing financial stress and dependence and how it relates to crime
• Women in the criminal justice system

Examining the relationship between crime, gender, and the “modernization” of Balkan (ex-Yugoslavian) social structure, this volume is ideal for interdisciplinary criminology scholars specializing in the Balkans.
