男子通常比妇女犯下更多的暴力犯罪，这导致了这是一种男性犯罪的概念。因此，有一种倾向认为，女性罪犯是如此的非典型和不正常，以至于需要对她们做出解释，而不是接受所有性别都有可能实施暴力行为。杀人的女性倾向于挑战传统的女性气质概念。因此，为了理解女性暴力行为，历史学家和犯罪学家将杀人的女性归入解释性类别。女性杀人犯经常被描绘成“疯狂”，“坏”或“悲伤”。这一框架负责对暴力妇女的保护、监禁和惩罚。它还导致妇女受到审判：妇女不仅因其罪行而受到谴责，而且因未能实现女性理想而受到谴责。然而，“疯狂”、“糟糕”或“悲伤”的框架对历史学家来说可能是有用的，因为它往往是唯一幸存下来的叙述。然而，需要认识到，虽然这一框架允许研究对妇女暴力行为的历史认识，但妇女的叙述往往不存在、被歪曲或被忽视。
Men typically commit more violent crime than women which has led to the concept that it is a male offence. Consequently, there is a tendency to suggest that female offenders are so atypical and abnormal that they require explanation, rather than accepting that all genders are capable of violent behaviour. Women who kill tend to challenge conceptualisations of normative femininity. Accordingly, in an attempt to understand female violence, historians and criminologists have placed women who kill into explanatory categories. Female murderers have often been portrayed as ‘mad’,‘bad’or ‘sad.’This framework is responsible for the infantilisation, monsterisation and victimisation of violent women. It has also led to womanhood being put on trial: women are not only condemned for their crimes but also for failing to live up to feminine ideals. Nevertheless, the ‘mad’,‘bad’or ‘sad’framework can be useful to historians as it is often the only narrative that survives. However, it needs to be recognised that while this framework allows historical perceptions of women's violence to be studied, women's narratives are often absent, distorted or overlooked.
