REVIEW OF THE CRIME OF MURDER COMMITTED BY WOMEN IN THE FAMILY

Abstract

The crime of premeditated murder can also be committed by women in the family, which increases along with the development of society. This type of research is normative with statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used is secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Factors causing the criminal offence of premeditated murder committed by women in the family are due to factors within the perpetrator, namely revenge, envy, heartache and mental disorders as well as factors from outside themselves which include economic factors, lack of appreciation of religion and lack of legal knowledge. For this reason, it is suggested that women should not commit premeditated murder against family members because the threat of punishment is very high and very detrimental to the perpetrator and that efforts to overcome premeditated murder against the family by women are carried out by all parties, especially families with a religious approach.
