Abstract
To what extent can we consider the criminal act as a strategy, a choice, a necessity, an opportunity or even the inevitable outcome in the individual struggle to deal with adversity, inequality, discrimination, fear or vulnerability—in short, as a way to obtain security? This is the working hypothesis developed in this chapter, offering an exploratory reflection around the nexus security–criminality, framed within the broader theoretical concept of human security with a specific focus on (failed) state interventions and its implications on female crime.
