摘要

根据官方统计数据,在立陶宛,女性罪犯约占罪犯人口的10%,占监狱人口的5%(统计部门,2022年)。由于被卷入犯罪世界的妇女人数相当少,执法和惩教系统的代表往往很难看到女性罪犯及其具体需求。因此,在立陶宛,适用于女性罪犯的惩罚性做法及其犯罪行为的社会背景仍未得到充分研究。本研究的主要目的是揭示被控非法持有和分销毒品的妇女的个人特征和犯罪情节。此外,本研究亦包括对毒品犯罪女性罪犯量刑趋势的分析。对法庭实践的分析和对被判刑妇女的访谈表明,与男性相比,女性没有稳定的收入来源,不得不更多地照顾儿童和其他家庭成员。此外,与男性不同,女性并不在有组织犯罪集团中分发毒品,而其他罪行大多与吸毒有关,而不是与任何其他复杂的犯罪计划有关。最后,对量刑趋势的比较表明,立陶宛法院往往对妇女更仁慈,因为她们被判处较短的徒刑。本研究是为数不多的探索女性犯罪行为的社会背景的尝试之一,希望能鼓励对女性罪犯的判刑个体化。

Individual Characteristics and Punitive Practice for the Women Accused of Illegal Possesion and Distribution of Drugs or Psychoactive Substances
According to the official statistical data, in Lithuania, female offenders make up approximately 10% of the convict population and 5% of the prison population (Department of Statistics, 2022). Due to rather small numbers of women drawn into the criminal world, female offenders and their specific needs are often hardly visible to the representatives of the law enforcement and correctional system. Therefore, the punitive practices applied to female offenders as well as the social context of their criminal behavior remain understudied topics in Lithuania. The main purpose of this study is to uncover the individual characteristics and the offending circumstances of the women accused of illegal posession and distribution of drugs. Also, this study includes the analysis of the sentencing trends for female culprits of drug-related crimes. The analysis of court practice and the interviews with the sentenced women has shown that, compared to males, females had no stable source of income and had to take care of the children and other family members more often. In addition, unlike males, females did not distribute drugs in the organized criminal groups, while the additional offences were mostly related to drug abuse rather than any other complicated criminal scheme. Finally, the comparison of sentencing trends has shown that Lithuanian courts tend to be more merciful towards women as they where imposed with shorter prison sentences. This study is one of the few attempts to explore the social context of female criminal behavior which will hopefully encourage to individualize the sentences imposed to female offenders.
