Abstract
In an empirical study of white-collar criminals in Norway, only 8 % out of 255 convicted

criminals in recent years were women. There are many potential explanations for the low

female share of crime. This paper concentrates on women’s lack of rationalization and

justification of the criminal act. Several arguments lead us to believe that the justification

to commit financial crime is less prominent among women. Examples include female fear

of being caught, where women perceive a greater subjective risk, and where the

consequences of imprisonment are perceived worse by women than men.
