Female criminals are often portrayed as morally corrupt or deviant from "summary" of Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives by Shampa Roy

The portrayal of female criminals in Bangla crime narratives often revolves around the idea of moral corruption and deviance. These women are depicted as straying from societal norms and engaging in behavior that is considered unacceptable. Their actions are often seen as a deviation from the expected roles and responsibilities of women in society. This portrayal serves to reinforce traditional gender norms and expectations, where women are expected to be morally upright and virtuous. Furthermore, female criminals are often portrayed as lacking in empathy or remorse for their actions. They are depicted as cold, calculating, and ruthless, with little regard for the consequences of their behavior. This dehumanization of female criminals serves to justify their punishment and reinforces the idea that they are inherently different from "normal" women. In addition, female criminals are often sexualized in Bangla crime narratives. Their actions are sometimes attributed to their sexuality, with their criminal behavior seen as a result of their supposed promiscuity or moral looseness. This sexualization serves to further demonize these women and portray them as threats to the moral fabric of society.
  1. The portrayal of female criminals in Bangla crime narratives reflects and reinforces deeply ingrained gender stereotypes and expectations. These women are often reduced to one-dimensional characters who exist solely to challenge societal norms and serve as foils to the virtuous and morally upright protagonists. This reinforces the idea that female criminals are fundamentally different from "normal" women and justifies their treatment as deviant and morally corrupt individuals.
