The academic conversation around female criminality in India has always focused on the causation of offending. The research in the field has been quite oblivious of human perceptual biases. This unobserved gap forms the cornerstone of the current research. The primary goal was to look at the female criminality landscape through the lens of legal professionals. The study interviewed senior law students of leading private universities in India. Criminality has been shaped by socio-economic, cultural, and legal factors. The indispensable rationale of the research was to analyse the Indian criminal justice system's approach to female offenders. The investigation raised questions of intellectual, preference, choice, and causation of offensive behaviour among women in the country. Theoretically, female criminality in India has been linked to factors like stress of mismanaging work-life balance, distrust in social systems, and oppression beyond human conditions. The present research was conducted to corroborate these claims from the perspective of future law professionals in the country. The data from the interview reveals a multitude of causal and attributive factors assigned to female criminality beyond stress and distrust, with great emphasis on choice, disregard of the law, and a blatant opposition to normative behaviour. The analysis that ensued highlights hesitance to acknowledge any deviance from expected social roles, thereby unveiling an implicit prejudicial treatment of female offenders. The study was conceptualised on the premise that there exists a systemic disparity in dispensing gender-sensitive justice, and the results of the research have reiterated a similar treatment. The results also help in explaining the latent perceptual biases for the disparity. The objective of the research is to provide a holistic overview of perceptions of female offenders in the country, which would lead to targeted interventions that would aid an equitable and fairer criminal justice system.
