Abstract
The article presents the results of criminological study of the personalities of women convicted of killing their newborn children, with the main reasons for criminal behavior being identified. Special attention is given to pathopsychological features of female child-killers. According to the author the knowledge of the common traits of such offenders and the skills of their identification are indispensable in organizing and implementing effective crime prevention, including infanticide. The conducted research allows to conclude that women’s criminal behavior is frequently caused by many factors, i.e. it can be considered multi-motivated.
