they do, there is a layer of fat over the top of the retus abdominis (abs) that 'hides' the effects of crunches. if you feel they are not working progress the exercise, try doing them on a fit/swiss ball - it really focuses the crunch to the abdominal area. otherwise if none of this fits then you are not doing the crunch properly

Does crunches abs work am female and i have a belly but some say that crunches don't work what should i do to get a flat stomach?
It's not that crunches don't work, it's that they won't get you a flat stomach. What you want is to do cardio. Anything that gets your body moving and your heart rate up will help you lose fat. When you do lose the fat around your stomach you will see the results of the crunches (muscle definition). It's good to do both (and not just crunches other "absentric" moves) if you want a flat stomach, but being active and eating well will lose the fat that is really the point of flat stomacs.
