Abstract
This paper examines representations of female criminals in contemporary Mexican visual culture while seeking to unveil the devices in which feminist discourse is either reinforced or challenged by a Mexican media, which has long been intricately intertwined with governmental influence over dominant modes of representation. Through imaginations of female delinquents on the screen, viewers have the opportunity to contend with the individual, structural, cultural, political, and economic incentives that prompt women to engage in crime.
