Abstract
Conventionally, women are conceived as practicing high-standard domestic and child-care planning where the possibility of being sexually abusive seems to be a far-fetched reality. Therefore, very little information is available about the pathological predisposition behind female perpetration, as literature also portrays a less cohesive picture. Recent offender typologies recognized that females often perpetrate alone or peripherally in a pair with another male. Whether perpetration is coerced by the male or not, females are certainly physically and sexually abusive, even often facilitating abuse. Abundant evidence of self-reported sexual aggression against males, childhood sexual abuse history, greater exposure to sexual abuse during childhood, physical and emotional abandonment, mental illness, parental divorce, or having unmarried parents often contributes to future sexual offenses upon children. The chapter aims to explain all the nuances regarding contributing psychopathological factors, gender role stereotypes, and factors behind female sexual offenses.
