Abstract

Abstract:
The outflow of offense doesn't have the same importance in all cultures and societies. It is in
its top flow; a famous origin of offense is the encroachment of each and every moral rule laid
out by a strict code of intense quality professed by people legally. The present exploration
showed an explanation that variables like economics, religion, culture, peer fellows, fewer
ramifications of a strict family environment, a low degree of instruction, monetarily dependent
living, and male dominance in society were all the pushing and pulling factors that indulged
the women to commit violations of the law in Pakistani society. The present research was
conducted to find the actual social and cultural factors responsible for women’s criminality in
Punjabi-Pakistani society. The results concluded, led by the specialist herself, from females
indicted for murder crimes in the 5 prisons of Punjab, Pakistan, according to the highest
population of murder crimes. All the females in 5 prisons, locked up for murder, were chosen
as a sample from Punjab, Pakistan. As it was qualitative research, an interview schedule was
designed for data collection. The researcher itself collects data from 5 prisons in face-to-face
communication with the security measure. A case study was used for in-depth and multifeatured data collection from prisoner women. Relevant examinations were spread out on each
individual case, and results were drawn through an effective assessment that confirmed that a
bigger piece of the respondents were Muslims and had committed wrongdoing in view of the
absence of monetary resources, non-participation in guidance, early marriage, a woman of great
importance in the exchange, fewer consequences of Islamic characteristics, unlawful
associations, and sad endeavors with others that made wrecks in the females, out of which
disappointment they committed such brutal offenses.
