The "female face" of modern extremism (an attempt at criminological analysis)
The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and practical aspects of women's participation in extremist activities. The discussion issues related to the role and place of women in radical and ultra-radical organizations are clarified, the specific individual qualities of criminals are analyzed. The conclusion is made about the propensity of extremist women to both impulsive and motivated-targeted aggression, increased suggestibility, hysteria, "obsession" with destructive, inhumane ideas, etc. The negative living conditions (upbringing and formation) of women who have embarked on the path of extremism (terrorism) are considered. Measures are proposed to decriminalize and radically «reprogram» the worldview of women who have committed extremist crimes, as well as to restore their adaptive potential and facilitate reintegration into society.
