Phenomenon of female criminality in India

There is hardly any society which is not beset with the problem of crime. It is a grave social problem faced by every society. It is an unpalatable truth that crime is not only a fact of life but a way of life as well. Crime is the major phenomenon of modern civilized and advanced society. Female criminality is not purely a legal problem but also a socio-legal problem which deserves to be tackled delicately. Female criminality is indeed a serious social problem; it may be considered a crucial problem because of its impact on family, upbringing of children and the overall fabric of society. The concepts of working women and single mother have come to stay in the society. Similarly the impact of satellite culture has telling effect on the Indian society. The increasing economic emancipation of women has brought about radical changes in the position of women.
