Annotation: This article analyzes the criminological characteristics of the personality of a female criminal based on socio- demographic, criminal-legal, moral-psychological, social-role, and penal-executive characteristics. The author has established that criminologists are currently inclined to seek an explanation for the criminal personality and its unlawful behavior not in physiology and psychiatry, but in social psychology and psychological theories of personality. In domestic criminology, the concept of a social personality type of a female criminal is used, which includes significant socio-psychological characteristics in the form of stable ways of her behavior when interacting with the surrounding social environment. The social type of a woman is a unity of her individual personality traits with typical characteristics of those social groups in which she is included. The stability of her behavior patterns allows us to identify her types of criminal behavior. Taking this into account, it is noted that in domestic criminology there are various approaches to defining the criteria by which it is appropriate to reveal the features and characteristics inherent in a particular category of female criminals. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
