Gängkriminaliteten i Sverige är idag ett omdiskuterat ämne. Trots detta finns det en sida av myntet som förbises och lämnas i det dolda, nämligen de våldsbejakande kvinnorna.

Det talas om ”den rosa lagboken” och att kvinnor särbehandlas av rättsväsendets aktörer i stridGang crime in Sweden is a debated topic today.

Den organiserade brottsligheten i Sverige har radikalt ökat de senaste åren. Det förekommer debatter och förslag på hur man bäst ska få ordning på den ökade kriminaliteten och oron i samhället som har vuxit sig alltjämt starkare. En tanke som länge präglat straffrätten är att kvinnor inte begår brott i samma utsträckning som män. Huvudsakligen stämmer det, men statistiken talar för att kvinnors brThe organized crime in Sweden has radically increased over the past years. There have been debates and proposals on how to bring order to the increased crime and unrest in society.
