Abstract

The social purpose of criminal prosecution in Russia and assignment of a punishment for the committed crime is to redeem the offender. The purpose of this work is to report the results of monitoring of the female crime condition and dynamics in Russia and Komi Republic through the criminological and social/demographic structure of condemned women who are imprisoned in correctional camps for socially detrimental conduct. The authors have elected the analysis of statistical data and comparative analysis of data as their research methods. The elected methods allow us to record a profile of reality, to segregate and to reflect trends in women’s illegal behavior in today’s Russia, to predict processes that occur within such complex negative social and legal phenomenon as female crime. An almost full coincidence of the social profile of a Russian female offenders at the federal and regional levels can be observed, when we compare the available country-wide data with the regional statistics (at the example of Komi Republic), thus confirming the determining factors that guide the female crime and are rooted in the conditions of women’s stay in the social environment. As of 2022, in the population decline conditions, the total number of women staying in Russia’s correctional camps for various crimes reached 28,361. Less than 1% of the total number of condemned women imprisoned in Russia’s correctional camps for women in 2022 (209 of 28,361 condemned women) were female offenders imprisoned in correctional camp FKU IK-31 of the UFSIN of Russia for Komi Republic. The comparative analysis of the social and demographic characteristics of condemned women staying in Russia’s correctional camps and IK-31 above mentioned for the same period demonstrates a direct proportion that is affected by the adverse factors of the social environment against the background of female crime indicators at the federal and regional levels
