          Abstract

          RESUMEN La modernización política y económica impulsada por los gobiernos tras la Revolución Mexicana, repercutió en la apertura de espacios para el desenvolvimiento de mujeres fuera del ámbito doméstico. La especialización de la criminología y la profesionalización de medios de comunicación, ligados a un fuerte conservadurismo, coadyuvaron en la conformación de un notorio temor ante tal fenómeno, asumiendo que ello pudiera provocar en las mujeres el relajamiento de la moral y, en consecuencia, conductas delictivas. El artículo analiza la conformación de imaginarios en torno a la mujer delincuente en un periodo de notorio auge tanto del cine como de la nota roja. Al presentar a las criminales como un ser monstruoso y perverso, imagen que no distaba mucho de las ideas criminológicas, se prolongaban temores existentes en torno a la delincuencia femenina pero también se fortalecía la concepción de una feminidad atada al espacio doméstico. Se estudian filmes, prensa nota roja, diarios de circulación nacional y artículos criminológicos.

          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT The political and economic modernization promoted by the governments in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution created opportunities of development for women outside the domestic sphere. The specialization of criminology and the professionalization of the media, linked to an entrenched conservatism, were instrumental in the formation of a notorious fear of this phenomenon, based on the belief that this could result in women developing a laxity of morals and consequently perpetrating criminal acts. The article analyzes the formation of imaginary about the offender woman in a period of boom of film and of the sensationalist press. Presenting criminal women as monstrous and evil, an image not distant from criminological ideas, prolonged existing fears about female crime, but also strengthened the conception of femininity tied to the domestic space. Films, sensationalist press, national newspapers, and criminological articles are studied
