Abstract

The subject. The article analyzes the individual consciousness of a woman, which allows her to adapt to the surrounding social reality and to integrate into its structure.The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that pathological features are not decisive in the criminal behavior of a sane woman, including those with mental abnormalities. They act in conjunction with the social content of her consciousness.The methods of the sciences of criminology, criminal law, penal enforcement law, sociology, psychiatry, legal psychology and jurisprudence were used.Main results. Her consciousness is not an externally introduced element of social nature, it is intrinsic to her as a way of her existence, it is the result of her own social existence. The level of consciousness of a woman is adequate to the richness of her social activity, thus, consciousness is, first of all, individual in nature. Whereas the individual consciousness of a woman is significantly influenced by the surrounding people, the experience of previous eras and generations.Conclusions. Consciously volitional potencies are given to a woman from birth. The study of mental processes of personality is necessary for law enforcement officials representatives of the judicial system to logically and correctly censor the testimony of a woman a criminal, because without knowledge of the general laws of the course of mental processes, it is impossible to assess the specificity of behavior, formed under certain external or internal influences. It is noted that their development depends on the woman herself, her interaction with the surrounding world, which confirms the special influence of social factors on the criminal behavior of women with mental anomalies.
