General prevention measures represent the basis of any actions to prevent antisocial phenomena and crime, even though these measures are planned and implemented to address general societal issues, conditioned by its development needs. Such a character of preventive measures predetermines their significant importance for addressing crime problems in general and forms of crime by perpetrator gender in particular. For the elaboration of crime prevention measures by gender, it is necessary to understand the causes and conditions of these types of crime. Equally, the development of a common basic principle of preventive work with men and women who have committed or are predisposed to committing a crime is necessary. Such a principle could be humanism and equality towards men and women, understanding the causes that have driven them to commit illegal or immoral acts. Determinants of crime by perpetrator gender should also be examined in terms of age. An essential link in preventing forms of crime by perpetrator gender should be the prevention of offenses among minors. By studying the illegal behavior of minors and the specifics of the crimes they commit, the psychological characteristics of their personalities can be highlighted.
