Summary/Abstract: Apart from the common legal tradition, the countries of the former SFRY also share the challenges they face when studying certain forms of criminality. The criminality of women is rarely analyzed in the criminological and criminal law literature. One of the possible reasons is that, in criminological studies, women are most often analyzed as victims of crime, and very rarely as perpetrators of criminal acts. The editors of the Handbook on Female Criminality in the Former Yugoslav Countries, Angelina Stanojoska, Darko Dimovski and Elena Maksimova, tried to eliminate this shortcoming. An important qualitative property of this book is the comparative approach to the study of female criminality in the countries of the former SFRY. Consistently applied in the presented articles, this approach is highly relevant for observing female criminality in specific contexts, taking into account all the historical, legal and social specificities of each individual state created after the disintegration of the former SFRY. In ten unique criminological studies, the authors analyze the criminality of women in Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia, but the comparative approach ensures that the Handbook represents a unique whole rather than a collection of individual studies. The authors of research studies presented in this monograph are university professors with many years of scientific experience in the study of crime in general, and women's crime in particular.
