Women Criminality in Pakistan and role of Law Enforcement Agencies

In Pakistan, the role of women in criminology is not less common. The social norms are strictly followed in Pakistan, but women's involvement in criminality is a vast field that encompasses Pakistan's intellectual, financial, police, social, and opinionated milieu. In Pakistan, women are deprived of their basic fundamental rights, right to mate selection, ingratitude, isolation, helplessness, desperation, and external sexual relations are the social factors and elements which indulge women in crimes and criminality. In the province of Punjab, women's involvement has drastically increased. Across the world (in developing and developed countries), female criminality has become a major social problem. Women are economically, legally, and physically inferior and weak to men. The involvement of women in criminal acts and crimes is a new phenomenon in the cultures and societies of developing countries. According to Research Report, the female prison population has rapidly increased in the last ten years.
