, INTRODUCTION
Feminists recognise the multifaceted interactions between biology and
culture that produce gender but conceptualise gender as a process that
is shaped by and that shapes social action, opportunities and
experiences (Renzetti cited in Zahn, Brownstein & Jackson, 2004:132).
Feminism is not a state of notion but evolves and is generally shaped by
our worldviews and although it is a complex notion, we can trace it back
to its development. The below discussion will take us through the
development of feminist criminology theories. This discussion highlights
that feminism needs both Enlightenment and post-modernist agendas.
DEFINITION OF KEY CONCEPTS

perspective theory and feminist post-modernism, in which the emphasis is

Feminist theories feminist theories are those that “embrace
physiological, psychological, and social-structural factors” (Klein,
1973:11).
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person because
of that person's gender or violence that affects persons of a
particular gender disproportionately
FEMINIST CRIMINOLOGY
Feminist criminology seeks to address this limitation by enhancing our
understanding of both male and female offending as well as criminal
justice system responses to their crimes. Feminist criminologists seek to
place gender at the center of the discourse, bringing women’s ways of
understanding the world into the scholarship on crime, criminality, and
responses to crime. In the following sections, the focus will be on the
emergence of feminist criminology; the range of perspectives and
methods
