For a long time, gender has been recognised as a significant matter in constructing criminal acts. Yet, in hooliganism in particular, no study has ever been focused on whether there are female hooligans or not. Does it mean there aren’t any? Socially, European hooliganism is much different in reality: there are female hooligans. They are denied for many reasons: peculiarity has not been studied, positive prejudices are attributed to women when touching on violent behaviours, the definition of hooliganism is too restrictive and hides the origins of events and women’s roles in such events, or it is difficult to imagine there are violent women when some of them are the everyday victims of many sorts of violence. By studying the hard cores of French supporters, we observed that a certain number of females admitted they were taking part or had taken part in hooligan acts. Sometimes they played significant roles and status within the groups and it inevitably brought them to violence. Physically, they were not at the heart of the hardest clashes, but they may have been the inciters or the driving forces of the groups for which violence is an integral and integrating part of supporterism.
