The 21st century has witnessed a profound transformation in the landscape of femalecriminality, challenging traditional stereotypes and prompting a reevaluation of ourunderstanding of this complex issue.

This paper explores the evolving patterns, trends, and factors influencing female involvement in criminal activities during this era of change. Firstly, we delve into the changing patterns and trends of female criminality in the 21st century, examining the types of crimes women are increasingly engaged in, from cyber crimes to violent offenses. Through this analysis, we aim to uncover the underlying dynamics and motivations driving these shifts. Secondly, we identify the root causes and risk factors contributing to female criminal behaviour in contemporary society.
