In researching women’s involvement in economic crime, the concept of the ‘economic’ is problematic. Women’s crime for economic gain and women’s crime in economic terms are inadequately catered for. In reviewing criminologists’ uses of the notion of ‘economic crime’ I suggest that criminological understanding in relation to crime for economic gain is poor and that gender freedom/blindness/specificity variously operate. This article provides an original feminist reading of contemporary work on crime and markets and rational choice theory and relates this to feminist economic critiques in order to achieve a gendering of the economy. The broad aims of the article are to illustrate the problematics of economic classifications and definitions in criminology and to mount an argument that suggests the whole notion of the economic within criminology demands (feminist) critique.
