Anormalna sytuacja motywacyjna – aspekty psychologiczne i prawnokarne
Abnormal motivational situation – psychological and criminal law aspects

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the issue of an abnormal motivational situation on two levels – in the first part, adopting a psychological perspective, and in the second part, a legal perspective. The first level, based on the achievements of psychology, allowed for the identification of certain characteristic features of an abnormal motivational situation, and then for the definition of this phenomenon. This, in turn, enabled a transition to the legal level, and drawing on the views of authors who addressed this issue in their works, to develop a general catalog of provisions of the Criminal Code that can be used in the context of the concept of an abnormal motivational situation. Additionally, the article proposes that the scope of application of this concept be extended to cover the victim of the crime, justifying it by the fact that in the case of certain crimes, the abnormal motivational situation in a victimological perspective has a particularly significant impact on the examination of the origin of the crime.
