Crime is men's business, isn't it? Women are responsible for 10
percent of crime in Europe. Yet, if we look at the Dutch Republic
in the early modern period, we find that in the towns of Holland
women played a much larger role in crime. In a number of early
modern towns about half of the criminals convicted in court were
women. These women were in vulnerable positions and thus more
likely to become involved in crime. They also had a relatively
independent status and led remarkably public lives. Manon van der
Heijden convincingly shows that it is the very combination of
women's vulnerability and independence that accounts for the high
female crime rates in Holland between 1600 and 1800.
