In the contemporary global context, the struggle against criminal activity has attained a degree of international significance that demands urgent attention. In this regard, particular emphasis is placed on the comprehensive reduction of the role and participation of women in criminal activity. The global community, cognizant of the magnitude of female criminality as a universal threat, endeavors to consolidate global efforts in formulating contemporary international standards and overarching directives for the reform of criminal and penitentiary legislation. A notable development in this regard was the adoption of the Bangkok Rules by the UN General Assembly in 2010, which stipulates guidelines for the treatment of female prisoners and non-custodial penalties for female offenders.   This development underscores the necessity for fundamental reforms in the operations of penitentiary institutions, as well as the provision of theoretical and practical support for the development of effective measures and mechanisms to prevent female crime. This includes the study of the processes of adaptation of convicted women within the penitentiary system.
