Resumen

La delincuencia sexual femenina ha tenido una falta de reconocimiento por parte de la literatura ya que la perspectiva tradicional de los roles de género ha impedido reconocer el delito sexual por parte de las mujeres. Los estudios sobre la participación de las mujeres en los delitos sexuales en grupo han estado limitada a la última década y las recientes investigaciones han demostrado que, aunque en menor medida, las mujeres también participan de esta actividad delictiva en grupo y presentan unas características propias. El presente estudio pretende describir algunas características que ha identificado la literatura sobre la participación de las mujeres en las agresiones sexuales en grupo. Cuando las mujeres actúan en compañía de otra persona, ésta suele ser un hombre, de la que forman pareja, en muchas ocasiones. Las víctimas suelen ser mujeres y, sobre todo, dentro del ámbito familiar de los agresores. Comprender la actividad de las mujeres en el delito de agresión sexual cometido en grupo es necesario para poder detectar estos comportamientos, conocer las víctimas vulnerables y poder desarrollar estrategias de intervención y tratamiento.
