Abstract

The crime of corruption categorized as white collar-crime is not based on any form of adverse action but preferably based on the characteristics of the perpetrator. This becomes interesting if the crime of corruption is committed by women. So the view that comes up when a woman commits a crime is that there will be a lot of views that increasingly cornered or "condemned" the woman in the event of a crime she has committed. Meda Chesney-Lind explains in the Demonizing Violent Girls and Woman concept that women's constructions are generally described with subtle, well-behaved behavior. When committing a crime, women are seen out of their supposed behavior and then considered to be very evil. Female perpetrators of cursed crime are based on the assessment of the subjectivity of the offender's character rather than the context of the place and time of the crime. If in the process of blaming the perpetrator is a moral duty to be responsible for his conduct, then condemning or demonizing the perpetrators of the crime of women's corruption can not be attributed to the moral obligation he must accept to be responsible for what he does, because after all the position of women as the perpetrator of the violation of the law should seen the same as other criminals
