ABSTRACT

Introduction. This study was made as a part of several investigations about criminal behavior and his relationship with psychopathological and psychobiological variables to observe gender characteristics in delinquent females.
Method. Two groups of 30 delinquent females was studied; one heterosexual and other homosexual. Both groups have low educational and work levels. Lesbians are convicted for homicide and crime against health (drug traffic), and heterosexual women mainly fraud and delinquent association. Profiles of MMPI show psychopathic deviation and paranoid features in both groups, mainly in the homosexual group. There are not depressions through measurement scales. There are menstrual and premenstrual symptoms in both groups mainly related with homicide and violent behavior.
Conclusions. Psychopathological profiles of delinquent females are similar to men delinquents in relationship with socioeconomic variables, mostly in lesbian females, with high impulsivity related with menstrual disturbances, as was observed in other countries.
