The study at the attached link, although it is somewhat after Shakespeare's time, suggests that the crime for which women were most likely hanged for was murder. Next most likely was robbery, then other forms of theft and fraud, then arson. Religious offences were low on the list.
One crime which was punishable by hanging, and which is not mentioned in statistics from the 18th century is witchcraft. This became a more common offence after Shakespeare's day, especially in the witchhunts of 1645-6.
One crime which was not punishable by hanging was the murder by a wife of her husband. This was considered petty treason, the murder of a superior, and was punishable by burning at the stake rather than hanging until 1790. The murder of a husband by a wife was not considered to be the same crime as the murder of a wife by a husband until 1828 in England.
