ResumenEl tratamiento de mujeres delincuentes supone un reto para los profesionales de la justicia, la psicología y la intervención social. El incremento de detenciones y condenas ha supuesto la necesidad de ofrecer servicios para mujeres procesadas por delitos violentos. Sin embargo, el conocimiento disponible, la oferta de programas y las herramientas validadas son limitados en el contexto español. La presente revisión analiza la situación internacional sobre la intervención con mujeres delincuentes violentas, centrando la atención en la violencia de pareja y la violencia sexual. La bibliografía señala que la baja prevalencia limita los estudios sobre efectividad de las intervenciones, la victimización parece una variable relevante para el tratamiento, la evaluación del riesgo es muy complicada debido a las bajas cifras de reincidencia y, al igual que ocurre en varones, son frecuentes los abandonos en los programas. Se discuten las implicaciones para el desarrollo de la materia en el contexto español.AbstractTreating female offenders is a major challenge of criminal justice, psychology, and social intervention practitioners. The rates of arrests and convictions have increased, leading to a need to provide services for women prosecuted for violent crimes. However, the available knowledge, intervention programs, and validated tools are limited in the Spanish context. This review aims to provide an overview of the international context regarding the intervention with violent female offenders, focusing on the case of intimate partner violence and sexual violence. The literature shows that low prevalences limit studies about the effectiveness of interventions, victimization seems a relevant topic in the treatment of female offenders, risk assessment is very complicated due to the low recidivism, and attrition in programs is very common as it is in men. The implications for the development of the topic in the Spanish context are discussed.
